UITH Community Health Admission Form 2026/2027

University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital has invited applications from suitably qualified candidates for admission into the College of Community Health Undergraduate and Postgraduate Diploma programmes for the 2026/2027 session.

The notice covers two routes, and the entry rules are not the same. For applicants, that distinction matters.
