[6] The teaching hospital trains students in the College of Medicine at the University of Lagos in the Medical, Dental, Pharmacology and other departments.

One of the main facilities within the Lagos University Teaching Hospital is the intensive care unit, which was established in September 1963.

[8] Delivery Admission Rates (2018)[8] In 2015 the Cancer Treatment Centre located in the Oncology and Radiotherapy department underwent renovations to improve the facility.

According to the US Trade and Development Agency (USDTA), there are 115,000 new cancer patients known to medical services requiring treatment in Nigeria every year.

[10] Cancer Aware Nigeria oversaw the project to improve LUTH's equipment and reopened the facility in December 2015.

These were to provide “internal and external radiotherapy services”, service over 3000 patients, provide the facilities to train extra staff, improve the waiting time to receive treatment, helpt to fund the development of LUTH and finally reduce the number of patients having to travel overseas to find medical attention.

[12] CEO of NSIA also remarked that the Cancer Treatment Centre would service LUTH by improving “economic potential of healthcare investments in Nigeria” and it would “increase private sector participation”.

[15] It was designed to “conduct an investigation into Nigeria’s needs in the field of post-school certificate and Higher education over the next twenty years”.

[15] The commission investigated how Nigeria can improve in this field, tours of communities with the intent to collect oral advice from individuals associated with the health industry were undertaken.

[16] The investigation concluded that “teaching staff of proper quality is the first step in any effort to train skilled manpower”.

Within this degree, students specialise in Physiotherapy, Pharmacology, Nursing, Radiography, Medical Laboratory Science, Medicine and Dentistry.

[21] The Harvard Global Health Institute works closely with LUTH through the APIN Program, to research and investigate modern treatments for HIV/AIDS.

[18] The APIN Project is a non-governmental organisation registered with the Nigerian Corporate Affairs Commission which was initiated to research and aid the prevention of HIV/AIDS.

[23] The Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) helps to fund the project and the first grant of $1.7 million was donated in 2008 to fast track the results of the initiative.

The project states that their mission is to “provide cutting edge, innovative and sustainable approaches to address…public health” so that Nigeria may improve “program management, service delivery, capacity building, research, strategic information and advocacy in partnership with other stakeholders”.

These are: (1) HIV research and training, (2) Community medicine and education of public health in Nigeria and finally (3) Geonomics of infectious disease.

[26] The 5.8MW capacity independent power plant was commissioned on 7 December 2017 to secure reliable energy to the teaching hospital.

The Chief Executive officer, Managing director and member of NSIA, Uche Orji inaugurated the project.

[27] The Powerplant incorporates a combination of gas technology and modern fire-fighting facilities to ensure its suitability and reliability for LUTH.

[30] SERAP made public on 16 September 2018 that the conditions of LUTH were not per the spending allocations granted to the teaching hospital.

[31] SERAP addressed the Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole asking for him to "provide information about details of actual spending of allocations to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, (LUTH) Idi Araba and other 20 federal teaching hospitals and 20 federal medical centres across the country, for the period covering 2010 to 2017”.
