Ebonyi State University

Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki (EBSU) was founded in 1999 in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state Nigeria.[1] The university's medical faculty was established in 1991 as ESUT's Faculty of Health Sciences.[2] Many of its facilities were developed in response to a Guinea worm pandemic; the Abakaliki Specialist Hospital, created for this purpose, was remodelled to become Ebonyi State University's primary teaching hospital. It was subsequently granted accreditation by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) for the training of medical students and resident doctors. Since it became part of Ebonyi State University, the medical school has received considerable funding from the Ebonyi government.[3]
