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.”
