Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital

Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital is a Federal Government of Nigeria Teaching Hospital located in Nnewi, Anambra state. The current Chief Medical Director is Joseph Ugboaja.

The Teaching Hospital was alleged to detain patients who could not pay for their treatment, in 2019. The then Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof. Anthony Igwegbe clarified the issue of non-policy on detaining patients for not paying hospital bills. According to him “We do not trap anybody. We offer services to our patients and they are expected to pay thereafter. We use our facilities, drugs, expertise and materials. At the end of the day, patients are expected to pay so we can replenish those things to treat others." He also stated that "some philanthropists pay occasional visits to the hospital, especially during festivities, to offset bills for indigent patients."
