The institution is devoted to delivering top-tier services that prioritize the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of patients. The hospital is physically located in Makurdi Benue State, however, her reach extends beyond Makurdi to the far ends of Nigeria even reaching to distant and rural communities of the country.
