Chennai, India (CU)_ Apollo Hospitals, one of the most prominent and reliable private healthcare service providers in India, has set its foot on the African continent. Accordingly, the hospital group has inked a memorandum of understanding with Africa’s Eclipse Group to establish a cancer care clinic in the Msasani neighborhood of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Through this collaboration, Apollo will offer sophisticated cancer treatment services to a large number of Tanzanians.

The 60-bed, advanced cancer center is built to provide complete cancer care, from diagnosis to treatment. It will provide medical, surgical, and radiation therapy to cancer patients of all ages, including children and adults. Supported by a team of skilled doctors, cancer care specialists, and some of the most cutting-edge technologies in the world, the facility will provide exceptional cancer care to approximately 55 million Tanzanians.

The MoU was inked by Mr. Dinesh Madhavan, President Group Oncology and International at Apollo Hospital Enterprises Ltd, India, and Mr. Zahir Damji, Chairman of Eclipse Group, Africa. The signing ceremony was attended by Mr. Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, and Mr. Binaya Srikanta Pradhan, Indian High Commissioner to Tanzania.

Mr. Madhavan expressed delight over the expansion. He said, “In line with our vision to touch billions of lives across the globe and offer the finest quality Apollo clinical excellence, we have partnered with Eclipse Group, Africa to build a quality-driven Apollo Cancer Centre in Tanzania. Together, we will strengthen the healthcare ecosystem of the country and support the citizens of Tanzania and neighboring countries in accessing quality cancer care without traveling miles for treatment.”

Mr. Damji expressed confidence in the new facility. He said, “Our collaboration with Apollo is a matter of pride and gratitude. With this enterprise, we will invest our energies in the greater good of society. Rising cancer cases and a lack of quality cancer care are prevalent issues in Tanzania. Apollo Hospitals will help us bring about a change and give opportunities to the people of Tanzania to live a healthy and cancer-free life.”

Mr Agarwal expressed optimism over the collaboration. He said, “The collaboration between Apollo Hospitals, India, and Eclipse Group, Africa, will strengthen international relations and lay the foundation for many more strong associations to come.” Moreover, more than 150 million patients from over 140 countries have been treated by Apollo Hospitals, which is placed among the top hospitals in the world for its superior medical services.
