The RCN Missions’ Hospital was commissioned in year 2024 with its mission of providing affordable, accessible and
high-quality healthcare, driven by love and guided by faith. The institution is devoted to delivering top-tier services
that prioritize the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of patients. The hospital is physically located in Makurdi

AromeCare (Medical Missions/Outreaches)
DinnaCare (Women and Children Health Support Programme)
DOCcare (Dedicated Organisation for Communities Care/Community Health Interventions)
