Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria Public Notice on Upward Review of Practicing Fees.

The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria hereby informs ALL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS AND DENTAL SURGEONS that annual practising fees have been reviewed as follows:

a.         Practitioners of less than 10 years post graduation will pay N10,000.00 (Ten  thousand naira) only, as their annual practising fee.

b.        Practitioners of 10 years and above 10 years post graduation will pay N20,000.00 (Twenty thousand naira) only, as their annual practising fee.

The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, by this public notice, reminds ALL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS,  DENTAL SURGEONS AND THEIR EMPLOYERS that the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act Cap M8 Laws of the federation of Nigeria, 2010 requires that all practitioners pay their annual practising fees before  the beginning of each year to be eligible to practice legally.

Failure to comply with this requirement is a contravention of the Law for which the doctor concerned and his employer would be liable to prosecution.

Doctors are to pay their practicing fees into the Treasury Single Account (TSA) through the Council’s website (www.mdcn.gov.ng) after they must have updated their records on the Council’s Registration portal.
