Dr. Stella Chinyelu Alagbe is a graduate of Medicine and Surgery from the College of Medicine, University of Benin.

She continued her postgraduate Residency Training in Internal Medicine and Nephrology at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital and later became a Fellow of the West African Post-graduate College upon completion of the program.
Dr. (Mrs.) Alagbe’s pursuit of knowledge took her to the prestigious University of Cape Town, South Africa in 2009, where she completed a Masters of Philosophy (MPhil) program and Certification as a Nephrology Physician [Cert, Neph (Phys) SA].
