Comprehensive List of All Hospitals and Clinics in Nigeria – By State and Local Government
About MyMedicalBank Directory of Health Facilities
Finding reliable healthcare in Nigeria shouldn’t be difficult. Whether you’re searching for a government hospital, a private clinic, or a primary health centre near you, having access to accurate information is critical. Despite having over 200 million people, Nigeria has fewer than 1 doctor per 2,500 citizens in most states — making it critical for individuals to know exactly where to find care when they need it.
At MyMedicalBank, we have compiled one of the most comprehensive directories of hospitals, clinics, and laboratories in Nigeria — organised by state and local government area (LGA), sourced from the Federal Ministry of Health and other verified providers— to help individuals, families, researchers, and healthcare professionals easily locate verified health facilities nationwide.
This directory includes over 43,000 health facilities across Nigeria’s 36 states and 774 LGAs, covering public, private, military, specialist, and primary healthcare centres.
