At the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria our Mission is “TO REGULATE THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, DENTISTRY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE IN THE MOST EFFICIENT MANNER THAT SAFEGUARDS BEST HEALTHCARE DELIVERY FOR NIGERIANS”.

When next you visit your Doctor, Dentist or Alternative Medicine Practitioner, demand to see the certificate of Annual Practicing License which must be prominently displayed in the hospital.

Any Doctor, Dentist or Alternative Medicine Practitioner that practices without this is violating the laws of the land, and therefore practicing illegally.

Practitioners are allowed to pay for only two years advance of license renewal.

All Doctors, Dentists and Alternative Medicine Practitioners are reminded that the year is running to an end and they should not delay to renew their practicing license now to avoid sanctions.

If a doctor, dentist or alternative medicine practitioner maltreats you or behaves in an unprofessional manner to you, report to the Registrar, Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, Gwarinpa, Abuja
