Force spokesperson, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the historic elevation emphasises the Force’s renewed focus on healthcare delivery as a critical component of police welfare and operational efficiency.

He said, “By establishing the directorate, the Nigeria Police Force seeks to fully institutionalise medical services within its organisational framework, ensuring improved competency, better coordination, and sustained investment in both preventive and emergency healthcare for serving and retired personnel, and by extension, our host communities across the country.

The newly created Directorate of Medical Services will be rebranded and strategically structured to meet contemporary policing challenges. It will be headed by the force chief medical director, who will oversee the roles of other directors and professionals within the directorate.

The spokesperson stated that this leadership arrangement is designed to guarantee specialised oversight, effective resource allocation, and the modernisation of healthcare services across the force.

Meanwhile, the IGP has emphasised that the creation of the Directorate of Medical Services is not only a welfare initiative but also a strategic investment in national security.
