The Federal Government on Monday took drastic action to stamp out quackery and sub-standard practices in medical practice in the country.
The Federal Government announced a ban on all
graduates of medicine from participating in the mandatory National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) until they have qualified as medical doctors and have
secured practice licence from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
This decision was made public through the
Registrar/Chief Executive of MDCN, Dr. Abdulmumini Ibrahim during a press
briefing on Monday in Abuja. He said:-
“There has been increasing number of personal
non-grata people who are not trained impersonating as medical doctor.
The NYSC has inundated us with complaints. Those who
have completed their one year internship have been given certificates. Most
corpers are sent to rural areas. They can only go to service upon presentation
of their practice license.”
