Only 58,000 Of 130,000 Registered Doctors In Nigeria Renewed Licence — MDCN
The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) says only 58,000 doctors renewed their annual practice licence out of the 130,000 registered doctors in the country.
Deputy Registrar of MDCN, Dr. Victor Kolawole, disclosed this at the Induction/Oath-taking Ceremony of the 2022/2023 Batch B Medicine and Surgery graduates of the Edo State University, Uzairue, on Friday.
Kolawole said, “Since inception in 1963, we presently have over 130,000 registered doctors in Nigeria. However, as you know, because of the increase in migration of doctors out of the country, we have about 58,000 doctors who renewed their annual practice licence in 2023 and they are those that are fit to practise in Nigeria.”
He frowned at the current syndrome of doctors going abroad for greener pastures and appealed to the new medical graduates to stay back and practise their profession in the country.
