44 Years of Knowing Your Name.
We are Port Harcourt's most trusted family hospital—not because we say so, but because we have been here, continuously, since 1982.
Our Foundation
A promise of unhurried excellence.
Maryland Healthcare was established on May 1st, 1982 at #42 Igbokwe Street (Bekweri Wosu Street), Dline, Port Harcourt. We are now at 14 Chief Elechi Amadi Road, Rumuokwurushi. 44 years of continuous operation in the same city.
This is not a new clinic trying to look prestigious. This is an institution that has earned its place through decades of treating multiple generations of the same families.

Our Differentiator Isn't Just Services. It's the Relationship.
When you need a doctor, you want somewhere you trust and where they know you, so you don't have to re-explain everything every time. The staff actually knows your name. That is the Maryland Healthcare standard.
