THIS IS ABOUT MY SCHOOL
The medical school at the University of Nigeria is one of the most prestigious medical schools in the country. The University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital is about the only centre in Nigeria where Open Heart Surgery is performed on a regular basis. Presently the hospital is sited at a temporary site in the "Old Park" area of Enugu behind the Main Market.

The permanent site is nearly complete. It is sited at Ituku-Ozalla about 20km from Enugu. Clinics hold at Ituku-Ozalla and the faculty of Dentistry is almost wholly there.




UNTH holds a number of firsts such as;

• First Open Heart Surgery in Sub-Saharan Africa in 1974
• First Cardiothoracic Centre of Excellence in Nigeria in 1983
• First Successful Quintuplet delivery
• First Siamese Twin seperation in Nigeria

and lots more....


Generally doctors in Africa are trained to be very good clinicians who rely more on a meticulous history and physical examination than on sophisticated investigations.
