A stone throw from King’s Square, in the heart of Benin, is the Benin Central Hospital, a medical facility built by the colonial masters 115 years ago. The hospital, conspicuously located on the Sapele Road, was at inception named Benin General Hospital before it was changed to Specialists Hospital and later Central Hospital in the 1980s. Just like its name, the ownership was transferred from British Government to the Western Governments, Midwest and Edo State government.
