Brief Historyy

The Edo State School of Health Technology traces its roots back to 1964, when it was established as the Health Auxiliary Training School. This institution was a response to the critical need for healthcare personnel in the newly formed Mid-Western Region of Nigeria. Initially focused on training Sanitary Overseers and Dispensary Health Workers, the school underwent several transformations over the years. In 1976, it was renamed the School of Health Technology and expanded its curriculum to include more advanced health programs leading to National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) qualifications. This elevated the institution to tertiary status. However, the school lost its accreditation with the Regulatory Bodies of Nigeria due to poor funding, poor infrastructures, poor record-keeping system, inadequate teaching, and non-teaching staff, and inadequate offices, among others.

Upon coming on board in 2016, the Edo State Governor, His Excellency Mr. Godwin Obaseki swung into action with his “Making Edo Great Again (MEGA) Agenda”, to improve the healthcare system of Edo people and to produce well- trained professional Healthcare providers for Local and International consumptions. Sequel to the above, a full assessment of the School was ordered and recommendations made, followed by proper planning, implementations, and renovations, resulting in what it has become today. After the renovations of the existing structures, constructing new structures and the acquisitions of new medical, teaching, and demonstration equipment, the Edo State House of Assembly on the 23rd of December 2023, passed the “Edo State College of Health Sciences and Technology Law”. While repealing the “Edo State School of Health Technology of 2002. In the July 2024, the College under went the re-accreditation of all its programs. With all the requirements having been met, the College now awaits approval from all the accrediting Bodies and Councils.
