This is the best result in the record of this examination.

Prof. Abba Hassan said the Ministry of Health is already implementing the Federal Executive Council’s decision for central internship domiciled at MDCN. This decision will be implemented this year and the doctors are advised to log-on the MDCN and website for guidance.”

‘’Following the Federal Government’s decision, the MDCN will now be in charge of the posting, placement and payment of house officers emoluments. This responsibility was formerly carried out by the Federal Teaching Hospitals, Federal Medical Centres and other accredited health institutions.’’

In his address, the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Adeleke Mamora, said: “This is an addition to the health workforce in the country. MDCN has consistently and efficiently regulated the practice of medicine, dentistry and alternative medicine in a manner that has continued to safeguard best healthcare delivery for all Nigerians. In the pursuit of President Muhammadu Buhari’s mandate, the health sector is particularly concerned with human capital development; to improve health outcomes among many other deliverables.

“The Federal Government envisions Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and to make it accessible and affordable to all Nigerians irrespective of their social status. Today’s induction is significant in that 1,021 practitioners, the highest in any single induction ceremony, will be added to the group of medical personnel that are already working to actualize this vision.

“The MDCN is already discussing with selected teaching hospitals in each of the six geo-political zones in the country to create opportunities to further equip the skills and knowledge of returning Medical and Dental graduates from abroad before participating in the assessment examination.

“The Federal Ministry of Health and the Budget Office of the Federation have approved in this year’s budget, funds for the payment of house-officers by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria effective from January 2021. MDCN is now charged with the posting, placement and payment of house officer’s emoluments. The responsibility which was hitherto carried out by the Federal Teaching Hospitals, Federal Medical Centres and other accredited health institutions.”

Also, the Registrar of the MDCN, Dr Tajudeen Sanusi, while administering the Physicians Pledge to the inductees, urged them to practice their profession to the best of their ability, putting the health and well-being of their patients as a priority.

    my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Thank you!
