Evangel Hospital

  • Technical excellence with compassion
  • Training Africa's doctors for today and tomorrow
  • Care for the whole person in the name of Jesus Christ
  • Serving people of every race, nationality, and religion

ECWA Evangel Hospital is a 150-bed general hospital located in Jos, Nigeria. Founded by the Sudan Interior Mission (now SIM) in 1959, Evangel is now under the auspices of the Evangelical Churches of West Africa (ECWA).

Our Medical Departments

Our core medical services include surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Over the past decade several new specialized areas have been added:
  • Ophthalmology
  • Ear, nose, and throat surgery
  • Dentistry
  • Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) surgery
  • HIV care including a counseling center with support services

Medical Education

Morning report
Morning Report
The shortage of qualified African doctors is acute. Besides providing high quality medical care, Evangel is also active in medical education, providing several types of training but most notably a nationally accredited general practice residency program. Other areas of medical education include:
  • General and specialty rotations for Nigerian doctors from other sites
  • "Rotations abroad" for medical students and residents from other countries
  • Training site for the Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS)
  • Our education programs emphasize not only medical excellence but whole-person care, an ethos of compassion, and Christian discipleship. The specialty areas listed above make our training programs even more attractive.

What We Believe

We embrace the evangelical Protestant faith in one God, humanity created in the image of God, the spiritual lostness of people, and reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ. For more details, see What Do Christians Believe? on this site, the ECWA Statement of Faith, and the SIM Statement of Faith.
