Brief history
Mary Elms Mission Hospital, Onitsha, is part of the Diocese on the Niger healthcare mission. It was established to meet the healthcare needs of the inhabitants of Onitsha and it’s environments. The motto is “To preach and to heal the world.”.
Mary Elms is the name of a missionary woman who helped to spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Diocese on the Niger through healthcare. In her honour, the women’s ministry of the Diocese on the Niger built and sponsored the hospital to immortalize her name. The hospital was dedicated on Saturday, September 18, 2021, by the primate of the Church of Nigeria, His Grace, the Most Rev. Henry Ndukwuba, as part of the special events to mark the 10th year Episcopal Anniversary of the Rt Rev. Dr. Owen Chiedozie and Dr. Mrs. Elsie Nonyelum Nwokolo ( Mama Niger), in whose time the hospital was established and named.
To the glory of God, the Anambra State Government Ministry of Health inspected, approved, and registered Mary Elms as a medical hospital facility on July 11, 2022. The hospital commenced operation in August 2022.
