History The Osun State College of Health Technology, Ilesa, was established in 1977 by the Oyo State Ministry of Health and operated under the Secondary Health Care and Training Department of the Oyo State Ministry of Health until the creation of Osun State on 27 August 1991, by the military government of General Ibrahim Babangida. In 2020, the institution gained autonomy, becoming a full-fledged college under the Osun State House of Assembly (Establishment) Law of 2020. In November 2022, the Osun State Assembly passed the University Teaching Hospital and Examination Board Establishment Bills into law, which made provision for the college to be under the supervision of the State Ministry of Education, rather than the Ministry of Health. As it continues to evolve from a monotechnic to a full-fledged polytechnic under the bill tagged "Osun State College of Health Technology and Management Sciences Establishment Bill 2024," its primary objective remains to produce competent and efficient graduates who can provide modern primary healthcare services.
