We are proud to announce that the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) has once again made history, reaffirming its place as a trailblazer in healthcare education and innovation.
Our pioneer Gerontology Nurses have achieved a 100% pass rate in the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) professional examination, an exceptional accomplishment that reflects the quality and rigor of training they received.
This is not just a win for UBTH, it is a monumental milestone for healthcare in Africa. It boldly showcases UBTH’s unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and the future of care for older persons. It is also a significant achievement for the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN), whose collaboration and support ensured that this unique nursing specialty is formally accredited, empowering nurses to deliver highly specialized care to older adults in Nigeria and beyond.
As the first institution on the continent to take this bold step, UBTH is setting the pace in preparing knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate professionals to meet the growing needs of an ageing population.
This is what commitment to excellence looks like. This is what leadership in healthcare feels like. This is UBTH.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our brilliant pioneer nurses, the dedicated faculty, the Steering/Advisory Committee, our forward-looking Chief Medical Director, Prof. Darlington Obaseki, his Management Team, and every hand that made this epoch-making achievement possible.
The future of gerontology nursing in Africa has begun, and it began at UBTH!
