Flagged for verification. Veligraph shows the figure as registered but marks it unusual: doctors exceed beds, the register lists more doctors than beds, which is uncommon. The number is unedited, we surface the discrepancy rather than hide it.

How care flows here

A referral hospital on Imo’s care ladder

Healthcare in Imo works like a ladder. Everyday care happens at the state’s 813 local clinics and health centres. When they cannot treat something, the patient is sent up to a bigger hospital like this one (Imo has 556 of them). The very hardest cases go up once more, to one of the state’s 4 top-level hospitals.
