The will of the people against sickness and disease
A call to unite and support
historic medical heritage
We are calling for support of the rehabilitation of St Mary’s Joint Hospital Amaigbo
to provide sustainable healthcare services for all that seek care in the hospital.
To see what is right and not do it is a lack of courage.
With amazing foresight, the people of Amaigbo, under the auspices of the Amaigbo National Assembly decided to build a hospital in 1941.
A bit of History...
Prior to the introduction of modern medicine, healthcare in Amaigbo, as in the rest of Igboland was provided by traditional medicine men, using roots and herbs with methods passed down in families from one generation to the other. Orthodox medicine was introduced to Amaigbo by the Catholic Church. People would be gathered after church services and treatments provided for various ailments. For the Church, this had an obvious advantage, one of winning over converts to Christianity and also the confidence of the community.
With amazing foresight, the people of Amaigbo, under the auspices of the Amaigbo National Assembly decided to build a hospital in 1941.
We must act, continue to act, and act together
The hospital, which was seen as an architectural masterpiece when it was first built, was said to be the first of its kind in the then Eastern Nigeria. The original name of the hospital was Amaigbo Joint Hospital. It was later changed to St Mary’s Joint Hospital Amaigbo, in 1957, following a request by the Catholic Church.
Great healthcare is our highest priority
The vision of this project is to support the rehabilitation of St Mary’s Joint Hospital, Amaigbo
to provide sustainable healthcare services for all that seek care in the hospital.
The Dilapidated state
The hospital has not received any significant upgrade since it was built in the 1950s and almost destroyed at the end of the Civil War. The hospital lacks even the basic environment for care provision and medical education for nurses. The facilities are in an unimaginably dilapidated state, with the mortuary being the most functional part of the hospital and the source of most of its revenue.
