In Nigeria, primary healthcare is to be provided by Local Governments, secondaryhealth care by State Governments and tertiary health care by the Federal Government. In operationalizing this policy, the Federal Government decided to establish at least one tertiary health institution in each State of the Nigerian Federation. Federal Medical Centres (FMCs), were established nationwide in states that do not have Federal University Teaching Hospitals present. The exception to this rule are Lagos State,and Plateau State which have one such centre in addition to a Teaching Hospital.
List of Federal Medical Centres
There are a total of 23 FMCs all over the country. As a general rule, most of the centres are situated in the State capital, especially in situations where the apex secondary health institution run by the state does not adequately meet the demands for specialist health care by the citizenry.
