MBBS ONLY (NON-PORTAL CENTER)
NNRH is a military hospital located in Navy Town, Lagos. The environment is neat, peaceful, and secure, with buildings close to each other, reducing the stress of moving around for labs, blood samples, and other clinical tasks.
Workload & Learning Experience
Moderate to heavy workload depending on the posting.
Strong hands-on learning opportunities.
House officers participate actively in procedures—not just paperwork or errands.
Not a teaching hospital, so there are fewer registrars and residents, except in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Accommodation
Mini flat setup with two rooms (two occupants per room), shared kitchen and bathroom.
Residents are allowed to renovate their rooms.
Fairly stable electricity and water supply.
Some rooms have air conditioning and refrigerators, while others do not.
Free accommodation is provided.
Upside
Hospital quarters are within a short walking distance (2–5 minutes).
Very secure environment due to the military setting.
Salary
₦171,000 monthly plus an additional monthly stipend.
Flex & Social Life
Lagos offers endless fun activities—nightlife, beaches, restaurants, malls, events, and entertainment. If you manage your time well, you’ll enjoy living in Lagos.
Orderliness & Workload Structure
As long as you do your job well, you will rarely have problems with seniors.
House officers routinely perform:
IV cannulation
Urethral catheterization
Other bedside procedures
Nurses administer most medications and are cooperative if you maintain good relationships.
Food Situation
You can cook freely since power is stable.
Call meals are provided during calls but are generally not very satisfying.
Delivery apps like Chowdeck and Glovo are useful for convenience.
Expect to budget around ₦3,000–₦5,000 daily for food.
