## TL;DR

Madagascar's health ministry. The government asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to review the country's cancer services in 2014, and in 2024 the minister visited maintenance work on the cobalt radiotherapy machines at the capital's university hospital.

## Summary

The Ministère de la Santé Publique is Madagascar's ministry of health. In late 2014 the Government asked the IAEA to carry out an imPACT review of the country's capacity for cancer control; the mission took place in August 2015, and the minister told it he had launched construction of a bunker for radiotherapy equipment at the university hospital in Ampefiloha. In October 2024 the minister visited maintenance work on the cobalt-60 radiotherapy machines of CHU Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona at Befelatanana, which the Republic of India donated and maintains under a partnership running to 2025. L'Express de Madagascar reported in October 2023 that oncology services exist in the university hospitals of all six former provinces, so that patients can have chemotherapy there and travel to the capital only for radiotherapy. The Ministry's website (sante.gov.mg) did not answer in November 2026. The coordinates are an approximate city point for Antananarivo.
