Rasheed Shekoni Federal University Teaching Hospital (RSFUTH) is a tertiary healthcare institution located in Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. It serves as the primary teaching hospital for the Federal University Dutse College of Medicine and Allied Medical Sciences, providing clinical training for medical students, resident doctors, and other healthcare professionals. Originally established as Rasheed Shekoni Specialist Hospital, the facility was upgraded and formally taken over by the Federal Government of Nigeria on October 21, 2022, transforming it into a full-fledged teaching hospital.

RSFUTH offers a wide range of specialized medical services, including cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, pediatrics, and intensive care. The hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment facilities, including a multidisciplinary ultrasound unit, an advanced ophthalmology department, a CT scan, a dialysis unit, and a fully functional intensive care unit (ICU).

As one of the leading referral centers in northern Nigeria, RSFUTH plays a crucial role in healthcare delivery, medical research, and professional training. The hospital continues to expand its services and infrastructure to meet the growing healthcare needs of Jigawa State and beyond.^[1][2]
