Racoon:No. This does not absolve him of REGULATION by MDCN. However, joining the NMA is optional, as the NMA is just an association of doctors. The regulation of medical practice and disciplining of doctors is the duty of the MDCN, not the NMA. 3 Likes |

I don’t agree with this, the fees should be the one ruled out as indiscriminately but membership of the association should be compulsory. |

Racoon: Judge hiding under freedom of association to deliver a stupeeed judgment. In other words, any Dick can now practice medicine in Nigeria; no supervision from the regulatory body - the Medical and Dental Association of Nigeria. The association needs to appeal against the judgment. |

This judge has been bribed to allow innocent people to be killed at freewill, if the judgement was against the building levy, no wahala, but membership of NMDA not being mandatory for such a sensitive profession, my brothers and sisters it's a perfect time for anyone to limit their medicals to teaching hospitals or abroad....crazy Judge.

Human Selfishness: •I don't know why the O P brought this to grace the Front page but it doesn't worth it- especially,in this kind of Labour dispute. That Judgement will surely be appealed against and won by the NMA! •The Doctor is exercising his right no doubts but a Caveat on the Medical line- if you want to continue to Practice Medicine, you belongs to this body- which Control, Monitor,set examinations Standards- as a Specialist, Surgeon experts, Professional,etc. •Who Monitors his Improvements and Promotions to a higher level? When he wants to Sign a Form for other Examinations,he needs the Signatures and Stamps of his Colleagues - who belongs to the NMA professional body! I doubt it it's because of due payment alone making him to fret! That is what you can't do as a LONE -Ranger in a body that deals with LIFE! It's a Vexation, Uncalled for and Selfish personality! |

Trade associations are a law unto themselves. I know someone who produced pure water and sold his bag at a cheaper price than the price the Pure water producer's Association dictated. He also refused to join their association. The trouble they gave this guy ehn. They would turn up with thugs at the guy's factory and block his vehicles from distributing. At other times they would waylay his vehicles on public roads and start manhandling the drivers. The Commissioner of Police called all parties to a meeting and sided with the producer based on section 40 of the Constitution. No way. The Association continued their shenanigans, threatening violence against the man and his workers. I don't think the factory survived. They probably closed down in the end. These Associations are a menace. 3 Likes |

Basic: The NMA is another organisation that checkmates faking and standards in Medical practice. It compliments the jobs of the NMDC. Without the Nigeria Medical Association, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria would be there while fake doctors and substandard practices take over the entire space of Nigeria. |

Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by Basic(m): 9:17pm On May 14 |
Racoon:How does this change the fact that making NMA membership optional does not in way mean it's a license to kill? My point is MDCN is the regulatory body, and it's not what the lawsuit was aimed at. |

Racoon:I'm so disappointed that you don't know the meaning of an association. What has NMA got to do with regulations? NMA is just like People's Club of Nigeria, nothing else. They only assumed unnecessary authority and government overlooked them for too long until someone got fed up and decided to do something about it. Stop being too fast in commenting on every issue.

salin:/ Nigerians love meaningless associations. Take a clue at how there is WhatsApp group for everything. Every business has association with leadership extorting members and imposing levies. There is a regulatory body but they still went ahead to form an organization for practitioners. Every department in any higher institution has an association and students in each department are automatically forced to be a member. / |

onuman:Kindly cite your evidence that the NMA was created to play that role. They focus more on the general interest of doctors vs government, etc. An association is not a regulatory body. If it were, the Nigerian constitution wouldn't make membership optional. Even in present day reality, |

You will never know the importance of a union or an association until you need one. There is strength in numbers. The doctor forming lone ranger if he gets into trouble with police, with govt, with community, while practicing, the organization has his back. This is a story our management tried to sell. Union Wil slow down your progress. You don't need to be part of a union. Some suckers almost swallowed it. Years later our oga at the top who had done his best to kill union was sacked by the board and given a measly inconsequential compensation package - as he had never been a full staff he was not entitled to severance pay. |
Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by onuman: 9:30pm On May 14 |
Basic:Bolded. An association that goes for the interest of doctors is crucial to medical practice in any society. Any doctor who opts out of such an association may have sinister motives. |

Racoon: Stay in school, you refuse. You said education is a scam. Your report card is out in public. Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria is the Regulatory Authority for medical practitioners. The other is simply an association. |
Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by Basic(m): 9:41pm On May 14 |
onuman:The NMA has no business with regulating medical practice or issuing licenses. Period! Any case of malpractice is reported to the MDCN, not the NMA. And that's why only MDCN can take disciplinary actions against culpable doctors. Leave story! |
