Universities are the citadels of knowledge; they are the peaks of human civilization, the most beautiful
creation of our collective intellect as a species. The greatness and value of any society is a direct measure
of the greatness of her Ivory towers. Chronicles of medical history in Africa takes a look at the institutions where
almost all discoveries in medicine and medical sciences originate- the teaching hospitals. This article is drawn
from several original documents downloaded from the internet. While teaching hospitals in Nigeria are
amongst the greatest teaching hospitals in Africa, we shall feature them in future editions of this journal
starting with the University College Hospital Ibadan in the December 2009 edition.
