Garki Hospital is a 100-bed hospital in

renal transplants. In 2013, surgeons Nadey Hakim
and Elijah Miner performed the first kidney transplant at the hospital.

Garki Hospital Abuja is owned by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA). It was closed in 2001 for full renovation. In March 2007, a concession agreement for the management and operation of the new Garki Hospital Abuja was signed between FCTA and Nisa Premier Hospital, after a competitive bidding process.

Garki Hospital also runs residency programs in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Family Medicine and Pediatrics to mention a few and is among private hospitals in the country accredited by the West African College of Physicians (WACP) and West African College of Surgeons (WACS) to run postgraduate medical training in these specialties. In December 2023, they were recommended for re-accreditation of the Pediatrics residency program, one of the few departments to run a 24-hour clinic for children in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
