Both are the same, there is no teaching hospital that doesn't have the same facilities as a Federal Medical Centre. Nonetheless, FMC are for states that do not have federal universities that require a teaching hospital. All states in the federation has a teaching hospital if they have a federal university offering medicine and an FMC if they do not have a medical facility that is fedral
A point IMO

How sure, how authentic is this info. I just came back from Imo state and this info is not on any news platform. Please educate us on it.

One is not greater or of more importance than the other. They are all of the same cadre.

They are all government-owned and manged with the sole responsibility of handling medical cases.

Like Federal Medical centers, Teaching hospitals are meant to cater for the needs of the general populace and are usually an extension of the Federal university where they are established. You would observe that all first generation universities that offer medicine have Teaching hospitals. In such instance, there is not a need for a Federal Medical center and most states with Teaching hospitals don't have one. Federal Medical center only come into the picture if a state doesn't have a Federal university or if the federal university in the state doesn't offer medicine. Both serve the same purpose and are of the same cadre; it's just that trainees don't get trained in a Federal Medical center. You would hardly come across a state that has both a Teaching hospital and a federal medical center. If one is greater than the other as insinuated, then each state should have both hospitals where one always takes a subordinate position.

I stand to be corrected though.

First line of thought is to say "Nonsense question".
But I hold back and be patient, what Usefulness will come from asking which is higher? Mention two.
Even though the answer is quite obvious

In Nigeria, both are actually the same. Pray you aren't an emergency patient in any. You'll understand it's actually the difference between 6 and half a dozen.

Both teaching hospital and FMC are cornered in one town - Owerri - in Imo state, whereas nothing of federal government exists outside Owerri in Imo state.

Both are two big hospitals funded by the Federal allocations. But methinks, teaching hospital engages more in research and training, than FMC.
Rest of Imo state outside Owerri need deliverance from the falsehood that every important government estaablishment in a state must be located in Owerri state capital.

However, the federal medical centre in Owo is higher ranked than the stupid teaching hospital in Akure, Ondo state. It baffles me how a teaching hospital will be sending referrals to a federal medical center.

Was it an upgrade?
Or is there a new federal University that needed needed teaching hospital for its medical school?

Knowing that building a new Teaching Hospital will consume lots of funds the Federal government may decide to convert the Federal medical center to a Teaching Hospital. Not upgrade

Teaching hospital is higher in ranking but I will advise anyone to choose FMC over teaching hospital for treatment. Teaching hospitals use patients for experiments just like the name implies, "teaching".

Thank God for your mother. What you’ve pasted here is terrible however considering the deplorable state of teaching hospitals nationwide, the inefficiency, the unnecessary bureaucracy, the sheer rot

On balance it’s better to find a high quality private hospital with a good reputation in the Specialty you require.

I’m not talking about all these strange mushroom clinics that operate from converted bungalows and Call themselves “hospital”. I mean a fully functional HOSPITAL with decent hygiene and facilities, thank you

Bros, please stop it.
Oya let me explain how this works. The MD of the hospital who is a consultant in that field, say a general surgeon or an obstetrician works in a teaching hospital/FMC/general Hospital and won't resume in his clinic until say 6-8 in the evening. It's the medical officer who is always on seat and will call his boss if there's a need for it
If truly you've been to private hospitals very well, then you will know what you see when you 1st enter the hospital is a medical officer(a doctor who isn't specialize in anything)!!!
The term "specialist hospital" Na SCAM. I'm a doctor and I'm telling you the secret of the profession. Ask the doctor you meet in your very expensive V.I "specialist" hospital when next you go for a visit!!!
Re: Between Federal Medical Center And Teaching Hospital, Which Is Higher Ranked?? by Nwaele7(m): 11:05pm On Apr 16
Federal medical center is indeed far better than teaching hospitals. Teaching hospitals are now mosquitoes teaching hospitals, go and verify.

Sir, maybe you studied medicine when only surgeons used to be the CMD of the hospitals. In our days, anybody can head a department now in a teaching hospital as far as you're a consultant. You don't need to be prof to head a department anymore!!!

You need to read properly before responding.

I didn’t say to look for a specialist DOCTOR and I didn’t say to look for a SPECIALIST HOSPITAL, I said that if you are able to find a private hospital that is good with a particular SPECIALTY then it’s better to go there and receive proper care in a hygienic environment that is well-staffed with high quality equipment.

If truly you are a doctor then I’m sorry for your patients because your arrogance in relating to people must mean that your bedside manner is severely lacking. And I am even more worried about your reading comprehension!

Health Care and its institutions classified into 3 namely Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Your local health centers/ clinic/ dispensary are primary institutions, your general hospital/ Medical Centers are Secondary institutions, while the Specialist/Teaching Hospitals are the tertiary institutions. I hope that answer your question

From the names, you should know they aren't comparable.
Everything in life is not about competition or non-useful public conversation (comments and engagements).
The Healthcare Industry is built in layers and or structures. A General Hospital's function is different from a Specialist Hospital as is different from a University Teaching Hospital and a Federal Medical Center.
A Community Health Care Centre is also different from a Health Post.

There is no ranking system for a Healthcare of a nation.
