Residency Traininig Programme At Lagos University Teaching Hospital(LUTH), 2018

[Ibn Ibrahim]

The Lagos University Teaching Hospital and the Medical School Complex was enacted by a Cabinet decision made in April of 1961 following recommendations made by the Sir Eric Ashby’s commission on Post-Secondary Education in Nigeria.

Over the years the Lagos University Teaching Hospital has remained one of the best Teaching/Specialist Hospitals in the country.

LUTH is the hospital in Nigeria with the highest concentration of skilled medical and paramedical staff in different areas of medicine. This explains the reason why LUTH is always the focus when foreign countries, oil companies and even highbrow private hospitals in Nigeria are on a recruitment drive for manpower.
