The_Esque Of Dragon Stone MD 🩺.

Good Afternoon @Nigerian_Doctor The MDPA has made it clear that once ur license is up to date, you are a member of NMA The NMA constitution recognizes affiliates MDCAN - Consultants NAGGMDP - Doctors in suctions where no Residency Training happens AGPMP - Private Practioners MWAN - Women folk NADHUS - Doctors in University health systems MEDSABAMS- Doctors that are University Lecturers NiMSA - Medical Students (not financial members) NARD - Doctors in training centres below the rank of consultants In the NARD Constitution, CONMESS 1-5 are members. Those who pay dues are financial members and can vote and be voted for. Those who don’t lack this specific privilege. In 2014, the FMOH brought out a circular making it clear HOs are members of ARD, NARD and NMA and this was during the agitation to centralize HO posting as a result of issues with CEOs of Hospitals. In 2019, MDCN was given that mandate for central posting and then began the systematic brainwashing of House Officers as not part of NARD. This started with MDCN stopping central HO Dues payment to NARD and HOs supported this idea. MDCN has since made it clear it won’t give NARD HO dues and NARD has made it clear it won’t negotiate this with MDCN. In 2024 January NEC, NARD made a resolution to still act and solve issues of HOs despite the capitation gap. They pay in some and don’t in others centres. Every month and year they drop out of membership of ARDs on their own as a result of a systematic brainwashing and posts like this mentioning “who are not your legal members” They are members of NARD. And if they want to pull out, it’s fine oh. It means I don’t have to constantly be in Abuja to interface with NMA, MDCN, OAGF, CBN and IPPIS on their matter. The PAT compilation with arrears has been done for them and it’s likely to come with April salary for them. At least I have done my part as a leader, I have carried out my own part. I weep for the day this generation of HOs will lead NARD, the welfare of the medical profession will certainly be in peril. ND, find time and attend one NARD meeting and raise this issue. Say we dey hold them hostage 🤣🤣🤣🤣 While na dem hold ARD and their President Hostage. Talk to the ARD leadership before saying ‘legal’ on social media. Cheers
