History

St. Gerard’s Catholic Hospital started under the proprietorship of Archbishop John McCarthy (SMA) in May 1957 following the footsteps of Jesus Christ, Catholic missionaries not only catered for the spiritual needs of the people but also their health needs. For this reason, they do not only preach the gospel to convert people to the catholic faith but also build schools and hospitals to provide education and medical needs of the people. This paved way for the establishment of St. Gerard’s hospital in the archdiocese and was registered by the Northern Nigeria Ministry of Health. Sister Christiana Cronin OLA was appointed as matron and pioneered the early development with a maternity ward and an extensive outpatient clinic with Dr. Vandarmans as the first Medical Officer.
