History[edit]
Planning for the Akwa Ibom Specialist Hospital started in early 2010, under the German Designer RRP in Munich. Construction began in 2010. The Hospital contains all relevant disciplines, including a special clinic for children. It has about 300 beds, divided between a male and female ward wings. The Hospital was planned as a State of the Art Hospital, unique in Akwa Ibom State as well as the whole of Nigeria.[citation needed] Ibom Specialist Hospital (ISH) was established by Senator Godswill Akpabio during his tenure as Akwa Ibom State Governor. In 2015, the hospital was officially launched and operations began 6 months later.[5] The hospital is operated by medical professionals paid by the state government to train and also carry out medical operations. The hospital began operations with 150 expatriates mostly made up of Indians.[6]
On April 18, 2018, the hospital recorded its first neurosurgery.[7][8]
