Dear Esteemed Staff and Valued Patients,
On behalf of the UCTH Management, I warmly extend heartfelt Easter greetings to all staff and patients of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital.
Easter is a season that symbolizes
hope, renewal, sacrifice, and triumph
. It reminds us of the power of compassion, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to serve humanity — values that resonate deeply with the mission of our great institution.
“A time to reflect, renew, and recommit to service with compassion and excellence.”
As we celebrate this season, I sincerely appreciate the
dedication, professionalism, and sacrifices
of our staff who continue to provide quality care, often going beyond the call of duty. Your commitment remains the backbone of our hospital’s growth and excellence.
To our patients, we thank you for the trust you place in us. Your wellbeing remains our top priority, and we remain committed to delivering
compassionate, safe, and quality healthcare
at all times.
May this Easter season bring
renewed strength, peace, good health, and abundant blessings
to you and your families, as we continue to reposition our institution as a leading healthcare provider in the West African subregion.
Prof. Ikpeme A. Ikpeme
Chief Medical Director

🚨 NEW SERVICE ALERT!! 🚨
EEG equipment now available at UCTH
The
University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH)
is excited to announce that
EEG (Electroencephalography) services
are now available right here in our facility.
EEG is a safe and painless test that records the brain’s electrical activity. It helps doctors
diagnose and manage conditions such as
seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other brain-related issues
.
With this service now in UCTH, our patients no longer need to travel across town for this vital test.
“This is another step in positioning UCTH among the leading hospitals in Nigeria,”
said the management, celebrating the collaboration between the Departments of Internal Medicine and Psychiatry.
We believe this service will bring
hope, faster diagnosis, and more efficient treatment
to all patients who require the science of EEG. Truly, this is a blessing for our community.
