School of Post Basic Midwifery
This great institution is an immortalization of the effort of the Irish people through the devotedness of their sons, daughters and the early missionaries. The Hospital and two great schools; School of Nursing and School of Midwifery, built by these Irish children remain the pride of the church in Nigeria as well as in Europe/ America. It was founded in 1932.
