MDCAN Urges Government to Avoid Non-Doctor Consultants in Hospitals
The Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) has urged the government to refrain from appointing non-doctors to consultant positions in hospitals. This call was made during the Biennial Delegates Meeting and Scientific Conference held in Enugu.
The association expressed concerns that such appointments could lead to an unhealthy work environment and hardships for patients. MDCAN also criticized the disenfranchisement of medical professors from contesting for the office of Vice-Chancellor in universities.
They called on the government to implement measures to improve the welfare and working conditions of healthcare professionals to retain human resources in the health sector.
