This is a Federal Tertiary Teaching Hospital that houses the UNILAG College of Medicine and primarily affiliated to University of Lagos.

It is a superspecialty hospital with very experienced and qualified professionals. Almost all medical departments are present there. However, it is plagued by most of the issues that face Nigerian institutions. Over the past three months, there have been some days of total electricity blackout which destructively hampers the ability of the healthcare professionals to discharge their duties. The blackout is due to the incessant debt of the institution owed to the supplier of gas for the intitution's privately generated power plants. There is no back up power that can power the whole hospital, rather different units have small generators that can only run for few hours. Also, there is the perennial issue of inadequate funding which affects research, staffing and other projects.

No doubt LUTH has competent hands but it is still plagued by the aforementioned issues.
