Tommy and wife arrived Egbe two days before Christmas 1915 from their honey moon, they didn’t realise how exciting Christmas Day was going to be.

ECWA Hospital Egbe is a Christian hospital located in Egbe, Kogi State, Nigeria.
•
No doubt there was increase patronage from both within and outside Egbe, consequently Rev and Mrs. Titcombe could no longer cope with the increasing number of patients even with the helping hand of Olutoju who was a trained Nurse, hence there was an immediate need for trained personnel.
•
There was missionary activity in Egbe so many years ago particularly through Rev. Tommy Titcombe and his wife (a British-born Canadian Missionary), on behalf of the Serving In Mission (SIM) from the United States, Canada, and the UK, who served in Egbe and Yagba land from 1908 for more than a decade, this has left a positive impact on the people of Egbe, Yagba and Nigeria at large.
•
By 1950, Egbe people had started to develop and manifest a very positive response to the medical services.
•
At that time Yagbas (this is what people from Egbe and surrounding communities are called) believed that a woman who gave birth to twins was something less than human and they wouldn’t let them live in the village any longer.
•
Dr. Campion soon realised the fact that very soon more hands will be needed in order to carry on with the work; he took the first paramedical initiatives to establish a Nursing Training School (NTS)(now ECWA School of Nursing, Egbe) which will produce nurses that will be engaged in the medical service of the hospital.
•
Tommy and Ethel’s decision to return home was a ‘sad news’ for Egbe people, but since Tommy was getting old, and must have felt a growing sense of peace within himself saying “now I have more time to pray for Egbe Hospital and SIM Missionaries”.
