onuman:Nobody MADE it voluntary It has always been so There is nothing like supplemtary role in regulation. All regulation is statutory There is no limit to the number of possible medical associations e.g you can have Ijaw doctors association, Christian doctors, military doctors and so on They would all be interest groups not regulators Same as NMA |

Racoon:NMA is not a legally reçognized regulatory body. MDCN is the government-aproved regulatory body for medical and dental doctors in Nigeria. NMA is just a pressure group and some people are using it to milk others dry. |

jahsharon:Honestly! MDCN ideally should be completely independent of NMA in order to avoid conflict of interests in the regulatory roles of MDCN but the corrupt system has made it such that NMA meddles so much into the affairs of MDCN |

freedomchild:That would be in the best interest of Nigeria's healthcare system and healthcare-seeking Nigerians because NMA has over the years constituted clog in wheels of progress of our healthcare system by unreasonably stunting the growth of other health professionals and depriving Nigerians of the benefits of such growth. Their fights against other health professionals are usually very unreasonably petty. Such fights usually portray them like the proverbial hunter that was busy struggling to over an ant whilst carrying the carcass of an elephant on his head. Very annoying people dragging the noble profession of medicine to the mud! |

Racoon: No! It is unfortunate that yours was the first post! There are 2 bodies he sued. The regulator that issues practicing license and the labour union or professional association of medical doctors. The regulators will continue to regulate medical practice in Nigeria. However, it is no longer compulsory for medical doctors to be a member of the professional association |

Gajagojo: A little bit of reading would have helped you. “ On September 20, 2021, SaharaReporters reported that Olusola Adeyelu had sued NMA and MDCAN over the alleged imposition of unjustifiable charges on medical practitioners. It was reported that he also sought a court order declaring NMA membership as voluntary and that he has the right to resign his membership from the association and still practise as a medical doctor. However, in 2020, upon payment for the renewal of his practicing licence, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria insisted that the payment of the Nigerian Medical Association’s building levy was compulsory for all doctors in Nigeria before practising licence could be renewed and indeed made it a precondition for the mandatory renewal of the practising license for the year and without any legal justification”. That’s the story! |

Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by jaephoenix(m): 8:56am On May 15 |
Racoon:Learn took read with understanding MDCN is in charge of licensing, and is compulsory. U cannot escape it. NMA is just an association for physicians and isn't compulsory |
Re: "NMA Membership Not Compulsory For Physicians" - Court Rules by jaephoenix(m): 9:00am On May 15 |
tuoyoojo:Hmmm. These court cases are useless. NMA and MDCN would still extort that building levy from u. Those 2 are in cahoots. There was a court case won by one Igbo physician lawyer(forgotten his name). They ruled that the building levy is illegal since last year but just last month I paid that levy when I was trying to get my certificate of good standing for external practice. So don't bother yourself, dem go catch u when u wan get one certificate or other. Useless criminals 1 Like |

Gajagojo: Mr. I too know. Please read and stop this arrogant display of lack of reading culture and blatant ignorance. You know it and yet you failed to read the published story. I quoted what I read and here it is again below: “It was reported that he also sought a court order declaring NMA membership as voluntary and that he has the right to resign his membership from the association and still practise as a medical doctor. However, in 2020, upon payment for the renewal of his practicing licence, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria insisted that the payment of the Nigerian Medical Association’s building levy was compulsory for all doctors in Nigeria before practising licence could be renewed and indeed made it a precondition for the mandatory renewal of the practising license for the year and without any legal justification”. Looking through that is it not obvious to you that his membership was predicated on payment of levies and the rates were not justifiable to him? Added to it was the lack of proper democratic practices that did not suit him. He went to court and he won. The MDCN issues licenses and were sued along with NMA. The story says that MDCN insisted. The word insisted was there. All the man wanted (just like many others who could not summon courage), was to cut off his perceived yoke of the associations, off his neck. “License is not a qualification”? And yet the renewal of his license was hinged upon his payment of the levies? Who issues licenses that need to be renewed? You? “..if you choose to go abroad”. Who’s talking about that? We are talking about medical practice in Nigeria, oga loud mouth. Clueless people who ask questions and read properly, are more knowledgeable than arrogant people, who claim to know all and yet fail the basic things. Oga read the entire story word by word. If you do not understand it in English, please translate it to your language, for better understanding. |

jaephoenix: Go and sit down. It was not meant to be NMA. Blind follow follow supporter, with a long neck like the ostrich’s. In 2014, your likes protested against GEJ’s government to the highest heaven, when he was going to end fuel subsidy and set petrol at 140. The same people who led your protests are in charge today, with petrol at 1000 in some areas. You roast and cry secretly in your closets and openly pretend that all is well. Just know that you are welcome to get some food from me anytime, any day, until you can begin to fend for yourself. Ensure to use this same moniker. |
