registration of Medicare Clinics by Ogun State Ministry of Health as a private
hospital.
Opening from a rented apartment
at 105 Idiroko road, the hospital pioneered,
in that early stage, provision of
in-house specialist Clinics and Ultrasound scan service in the Ota Community.

1995 to its owner-occupied facility located at Klm 4, Idiroko road witnessed
the upgrade of services to include X-ray, Renal dialysis, CT scan Mammography and additional specialist clinics.
