Our mission
To provide accessible, specialist-grade healthcare to every patient who walks through our doors — delivered with clinical excellence, integrity and compassion.
About CKC
Healing built on faith,
science and service.
Christ the King Specialist Hospital brings consultant-led, multi-specialty medicine to the heart of Owerri — so world-class care is never far from home.
Our story
A hospital born of a simple conviction
Too many families in Imo State have watched loved ones travel hours — or abroad — in pursuit of care that should be available at home. Christ the King Specialist Hospital was established to end that journey.
From our campus at Ikenegbu Extension, Owerri, we deliver the full spectrum of modern medicine: specialist consultations, advanced imaging and laboratory diagnostics, surgery, maternity services, children's care and an emergency department that never closes.
Our name reflects our standard: under the Kingship of Christ, we treat every patient — of every faith and background — with the dignity, honesty and devotion we would want for our own families.
- Consultant-led teams across 15+ specialties
- Modern theatres, wards and critical-care monitoring
- On-site CT, digital X-ray, ultrasound and full laboratory
- HMO-friendly billing with transparent estimates
What guides us
Mission, vision & values
Our vision
To be the most trusted hospital in South-East Nigeria — the first name families think of, and the last referral other hospitals need.
Our values
Compassion. Every patient is someone's whole world. Excellence. Good enough is not. Honesty. In diagnoses, costs and outcomes. Dignity. For every life, always.
Our network
Two hospitals. One family of care.
Christ the King Specialist Hospital, Owerri and Orlu United Medical Centre (OUMC) operate as one clinical family — sharing consultant expertise, referral pathways, quality protocols and administrative standards.
For patients, that means continuity: your records, specialists and follow-up care move seamlessly between Owerri and Orlu. For partners and HMOs, it means two accredited facilities served by one accountable relationship.
- Cross-referrals between Owerri and Orlu campuses
- Shared consultant rosters and second opinions
- Unified clinical governance and infection-control standards
Our people
Led by clinicians, run with discipline
CKC is guided by a leadership team of senior consultants, nurses and hospital administrators whose single brief is simple: the patient comes first. Our full consultant directory is available on request and on our doctors page.

Your health deserves more than “available” care. It deserves excellent care — close to home.
