About Us

The college came into existence as a result of an observed gap in the middle-level health care system, particularly the Zone A senatorial district (Niger South) constituency, which comprises of 8 LGAs in Niger State.

The observed gaps came into open when some few likeminded individuals and groups, who decided to address the issue and therefore brought many interested parties together, so as to work out a long term solution to this problem. Then a decision was reached that; a Monotechnic/Polytechnic, of mainly health care courses should be established, by declaring a sort of share holding open to the public, which could enable people to buy for the take off of the college. The college subsequently took off in August 2017.
