    • Blessing U. ★★★★★ St. Catherine is a good hospital, and its services have improved significantly over time. They continue to get better each day. I am particularly impressed with their maternity services. Over the four years I have been using the hospital, they have consistently recorded no fewer than 25 births per month. Both mothers and babies are always healthy and alive. The hospital also has a strong gynaecology department and dedicated, skilled nurses, which is truly commendable

    • isaac U. ★★★★★ I had an open Appendictomy procedure (Appendix surgery) at Savealife Hospital, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The doctors explained everything clearly and reassured me throughout the process, while the nurses showed incredible care and compassion during my recovery. The theatre was well-equipped, the environment was clean and calm, and I felt safe every step of the way. What truly stood out for me was the personal attention — I wasn’t treated like just another patient but like someone whose comfort and healing truly mattered. I’m grateful for the excellent care I received and would confidently recommend Savealife Mission Hospital to anyone. #Thank you DrSavealife.
    • Praise O. ★★★★ If you value your life and safety of what is left of your health, please do not visit this hospital. I was there about 2 weeks ago to register for antenatal and my goodness! The state of their scanning room and toilet was disheartening, going by how much they charge for VIP package. The scanning room was very tiny and tight, not properly ventilated and not clean, then their toilet smelled so bad, I had to hold my pee for hours till I went home -also, there was no tissue in there, you’ll have to go ask the receptionist for a tissue which she’ll bring out a roll of tissue and cut some for you to go clean up with, it was giving general hospital in a village setting. Now that was just the small issues. The doctor that attended to me seemed like an IT student as he was so clueless about a lot of things, none of my questions nor concerns did he address, he couldn’t even properly interpret my scan result -thank God I already started my antenatal abroad before I came home, I’d not have had any clue on what’s going on in my stomach using their scan result. Long and should have the story is that save a life is not a standard health care establishment. The hospital building is fancy and attractive but that’s the only thing they have going for them. Every thing else is nothing to write home about. Don’t gamble with your life, save a life isn’t where you should visit.

It definitely show they don’t know what they are doing and not quite sure about the service they render to their patients and the button line is just that they are all out for business and the money in the bag. So you guys she beware 🚨
