Brief history of about Federal medical centre keffi

The federal Medical Centre Keffi came into existence in July 2000, following the takeover of the former General Hospital Keffi by the Federal Government. The centre was established with the vision to

• Emerge as a centre of excellence in health care delivery sustained by dedication to duty, unity of purpose and respect to humanity
   

• To be known for hospitality and high level of professional practices commensurate with the technological age in delivery of health services.
   

• To establish a commendable workforce guided by self-less service in an inter-disciplinary approach with the sole aim of promoting health for the social and physical needs of the society.
   

• To also install hope in the community by encouraging stakeholders’ participation and patronage for the growth of the centre and the community.

The hospital was established in 1957 by the defunct Northern Nigeria Regional Government Headed by late Sir, Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto. The old General Hospital prior to its take-over have been managed by the governments of Benue-Plateau, Plateau and Nasarawa states.
So far, the centre has had three (3) Chief Executives since inception six years ago. The incumbent assumed office in acting capacity in May 2002 and was later confirmed in December, same year.

Location:- The centre is located some 52 kilometers from Abuja. By virtue of its strategic location on the very busy and high vehicular traffic along Akwanga-Keffi-Abuja road that links the North-Eastern, North-Central and South-Eastern road networks to the Nations’ Capital Abuja, Federal Medical Centre, Keffi is often referred as the nations’ “Safety Valve” (due to the high Rate of Road Traffic Accidents along the busy highway). Furthermore, the fact that the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi is the nearest to all the tertiary health institutions to the nation’s seat of power, coupled with its proximity to the neighboring states of Benue, Plateau, Kaduna, Kogi, and Niger states, contributes to the increase in the number of referral cases to the centre.

With a total staff strength close to 1000 and still growing, there are 3 main broad departments namely Administration, Clinical Services and Finance. These departments have units as can seen in the hologram , which render support services so as to ensure smooth realization of mandates and objectives of the center.
