The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), has said that only 58,000 doctors in the country out of 130,000 renewed their annual practicing license  in 2023 which is an indication that they are still practising in Nigeria. 

The Registrar of MDCN, Dr Fatima Kyari, who made this known during the induction/oath taking ceremony of 20 newly qualified doctors at the Edo State University, Uzairue, said that the MDCN had registered 130,000 medical doctors to practise in Nigeria since its inception 61 years ago.

Kyari said that the medical and dental council is mandated to regulate the practice of medicine, dental and alternative medicine in Nigeria.

Daily Trust quoted Kyari as saying, “But only 58,000 doctors have renewed their annual practicing licence in year 2023 following the increase in migration of doctors outside the country.”

Kyari, who was represented by the Deputy Registrar, Dr. Victor Kolawole, said that the induction of the 20 newly qualified doctors would add to the existing  workforce in the health sector.

She charged the inductees to uphold the ethics of the profession, warning that the council was mandated to regulate activities of the practitioners as well as punish offenders.
