The University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) is located in Ituku/Ozalla, Enugu. It began operations in the early 20th century as a general hospital for Africans established by colonial administrators. Following Nigeria’s independence in the 1960s, it became a general hospital, and in 1970, it was transformed into a specialist hospital by the government of East Central State. In 1974, the Federal Military Government took over the institution but left management to the Council of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The hospital became independent in July 1976 with the appointment of an autonomous Management Board.
UNTH provides specialist healthcare, training, and research services. It notes excellence in cardio-thoracic services and states an aim to be a leading destination for specialized healthcare, training, and research in West Africa by 2027. The hospital serves communities across various states in Nigeria, particularly within the South-East geopolitical zone. It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The institution hires for various roles, including internships in dental technology and other healthcare positions, requiring qualifications such as a Bachelor of Technology or Higher National Diploma in relevant fields.
