IT Officer at Reddington Hospital

Our journey as a healthcare provider began on the 23rd of January 2001 with the establishment of the Cardiac Centre, in Victoria Island, in association with the renowned Cromwell Hospital in London. Its philosophy of providing the best in specialised cardiac care has now been developed, in the form of the Reddington Multi-specialist Hospital, into one of providing a one-stop comprehensive tertiary hospital solution to all healthcare problems.

The Reddington Hospital has been newly built on nine floors, on the same site as the Cardiac Centre, next to Mega Plaza, and provides care in all fields of Internal Medicine, including its special expertise in Cardiology, with its own Coronary and Intensive Care Unit. It now also provides Renal Dialysis, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Surgery (including Endoscopy and Day-case Surgery), Ophthalmology, ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Surgery, Radiology and Psychiatry. These are all supported by the latest technology, provided by giants in the various fields – the MRI is from GE, the CT scanner from Toshiba, the endoscopes from Olympus and Storz, and there is much more from Huntleigh, Datex, Bronelon, Penlon, Newport, Air-Shield and so on.

The pride of the Cardiac Centre over the years has been the difference it has made in saving lives and promoting healthy living among Nigerian residents.

Our focus will still be to deliver excellent healthcare by constantly upgrading our medical capabilities, using all the latest technology, as well as providing continuous training for all our medical and paramedical staff.

We will not relent in our quest to pursue medical excellence.Job Summary:
