HEALTH ARTICLE: ALL MEDICAL SCHOOLS IN NIGERIA (comprehensive list)!!!

According to the Medical and Dental Council Nigeria (MDCN), there are about 31 Medical Schools in Nigeria. However, the number is on the rise with some medical schools still in the building process for example, Covenant University Medical School (owned by Living Faith and founded by Bishop Oyedepo) and Anchor University Medical School( owned by Deeper life bible Church founded by Pastor Kumuyi) but to mention a few.... Well these are the ones I know that are in the Pipeline. If you noticed, both are private Universities. This goes a long way to show the impact private Universities are making with regards training new Doctors. This does not however, undermine the fact that Government owned Medical Schools are still the best in Nigeria.

Medical School training remains the prerequisite for every Doctor.. This has been the duties of several Medical Schools within the country....

NOTE: Babcock University School of Medicine is functional but quite expensive. Rumor has it that, it costs about 3 million naira per session. It has not been placed in the MDCN list of Medical Schools yet.

In the List above,  Most of the Med. Schools have full accreditation i.e., they can graduate Doctors. However, the last four have partial accreditation. Also, the College of Health Sciences, Igbinedion University was suspended in April, 2013 from admitting or graduating students due to failure to meet the required standards.. In 2011, about 11 Med Schools were suspended, of  which, only Igbinedion was recalcitrant.. Hence, It is good to know what medical school is fully or partial accredited.. CLICK HERE TO KNOW THEM

As i said earlier, Many are still in the Pipeline... And Yes!!! Mine is also in the Pipeline (AMEN).

Perhaps You know of any other Medical School in Nigeria that has not been Mentioned here, please do leave it as a comment ...Thanks
