It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Haematology, University of Maiduguri. Our department stands as a cornerstone of excellence in the study and practice of blood science, committed to advancing knowledge through quality teaching, innovative research, and dedicated clinical service.

We take pride in training the next generation of healthcare professionals and researchers in diverse areas of haematology, including anaemias, coagulation disorders, transfusion medicine, immunohaematology, and haematological malignancies.

Over the years—especially during the challenging period of insurgency in the North-East—the department has remained resilient, ensuring the continuity of vital laboratory services, medical training, and research that have had a lasting impact on patient care and community health.

At the Department of Haematology, we are driven by a commitment to academic excellence, professional ethics, and service to humanity. I warmly invite you to explore our programmes, research activities, and contributions to healthcare improvement in Nigeria and beyond.
