[2] In 2023, the teaching hospital was renovated in response to failure to meet the accreditation exercise conducted by the MDCN the previous year. [3] December, 2023 Abia teaching hospital regained accreditation from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria after 3 years of suspension from the body due to lack of equipment and welfare.
