Umezuruike Hospital

Umezuruike Hospital formally opened its door to the public on the 15th of October, 1971 soon after the end of the Nigerian civil war. Its first home was in rented premises at 78/79 Wetheral Road, Owerri, a small fifteen bedded clinic. That was an epoch-making occasion and it made news in the national dailies at the time, because it was the second fully equipped privately operated clinic in the metropolis of Owerri, offering both out-patient and in-patient care of high quality. Before then, the only option was the ever crowded General Hospital, Owerri.
