Brief History of the College
The Madonna College of Health Technology (MACOHTECH), Olokoro, Umuahia, founded in the year 2020, belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Umuahia. The Proprietor/Visitor to the college is Most Rev. Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Umuahia Diocese.
The institution is a brainchild of Rev. Fr. Christian Uche Anokwuru, assisted by Rev Fr Jude Amaechi. Conceived in line with the vision of His Lordship, Most Rev L.I Ugorji who had shown great passion and desire for a College that will produce health personnel to service the diocesan healthcare facilities in the hinterland and also bridge the gap in healthcare needs in the state.
He was also thinking about practical and creative courses capable of creating employment for our teeming jobless youths in Nigeria. Rev. Fr. Christian Uche Anokwuru (the Administrator, Madonna Catholic Hospital and Diocesan Health Coordinator), with the collaboration of the Board of Management of the hospital, led by Sir (Dr.) John Ofoedu (KSJ) and his team, nurtured the dream to reality.
