The federal government on Monday took drastic action to
stamp out quackery and sub-standard practices in medical practice in the
country as it has 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."
