About University of Calabar Teaching Hospital
We are the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), a federal tertiary referral and teaching hospital established to deliver advanced clinical care while supporting medical education, residency training, and allied health programmes for the University of Calabar and the wider South-South region.
Our teams run specialist clinics across key departments, supported by diagnostics, pharmacy, and multidisciplinary care pathways focused on safe outcomes and patient experience.
We provide round-the-clock emergency services and operate outpatient clinics on weekdays, ensuring patients can access both scheduled consultations and urgent care without delay when emergencies arise.
We deliver services across major specialties including surgery, internal medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, anaesthesiology, ENT, radiology, psychiatry, orthopaedics and traumatology, ophthalmology, dentistry, pathology, and family medicine, alongside counselling and testing services where required.
We also invest in research and evidence-based practice through collaborations and specialised initiatives, including our work in tropical disease research, prevention, and control, with a strong commitment to strengthening public health outcomes.
By combining teaching, service delivery, and research, we aim to reduce the need for medical tourism and expand access to high-quality specialist care for individuals, families, and referring providers.
