Health Benefit Ltd will change health care delivery in Nigeria by providing specialized cancer consultation and care. Health Benefit Ltd brings specialized medical expertise and unique clinical experience to the care of Nigerian patients. By providing needed high quality and valuable consultative services for the Nigerian health care providers in the care of their patients; this will translate into better state-of-the art clinical care for people with cancer in Nigeria. This will reduce the need for a trip abroad for these same services. Dr Nwaneri currently practices cancer treatment of patients in Minnesota, USA.

The goal is to complement but not replace the work already being done in taking care of cancer patients by their physicians in Nigeria.
