Our Story
Muslim Hospital, Saki was opened for service in August, 1987. The hospital at the time was the first of its kind in Nigeria, and was established by Saki Muslim Community. To have it completed as a whole, the interest to establish a School of Nursing was mooted in the year 2001. The financier of this initiative, the Baytul-Mal, Saki i.e. Saki Muslim Treasury to which weekly contributions were made by Muslims in Saki, made application to the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. As preparations for the establishment of School of Nursing by the Saki Muslim community were in top gear, the Council changed from hospital-based Schools of Nursing to College, Polytechnic or University-based nursing institutions. Thus, Saki Muslim Community changed to a proposed college of Nursing, Muslim Hospital, Saki to be affiliated to Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, and Oyo State. All efforts to make this possible failed, as the National Universities Commission as at then also began closing down all satellite campuses and preferred integrated tuition in Universities. In year 2008, Saki Muslin Community changed her approach and made an application for the School of Basic Midwifery, Muslim Hospital, Saki. From then, Saki Muslim Community focused and directed all her energy towards the establishment of a School of Basic Midwifery. Well, praise be to Allah (SWT). The efforts were crowned with success when approval was given for the commencement of the School on 26th April, 2010.
