Our story
From a specialist hospital for women and children to a national referral centre.
National Hospital Abuja was established in 1999 as the National Hospital for Women and Children. Its original purpose was to improve specialist care for women and children and advance research into conditions affecting families across Nigeria and West Africa.
In 2000, its mandate expanded to serve all patients. Today, the hospital provides multidisciplinary specialist services, supports medical education and contributes to clinical research under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
