University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) is a multi-specialty healthcare service provider in West Africa.

[1] The hospital is located in Ugbowo, Benin City and was established on May 12, 1973 following the enactment of an edict (number 12) of the Nigeria National Health Act.

[2][3][4] As the sixth of the 1st generation Teaching Hospitals in Nigeria, its establishment was to complement her sister institution, University of Benin, and to provide secondary and tertiary care to the then Mid-western Region (now Edo and Delta State) and its environs.

Other members of the committee included Prof. Tiamiyu Belo-Osagie, Professor Alex Eyimofo Boyo, and Mr. O. I. Afe, Secretary to the Midwestern Military Government and Head of Service.

The "Midwest Medical Centre" was renamed "University of Benin Teaching Hospital" in a budget speech by Colonel Samuel O. Ogbemudia in April 1972.
