The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) is a professional health regulatory agency for the professions of Medicine, Dentistry and Alternative Medicine in Nigeria. 

The MDCN, since its establishment in 1963 has had a rewarding and growth-filled adventure, in its regulatory activities. A testament to this is the large number of practitioners that have been produced by Nigerian medical and dental training institutions who are providing excellent services in Nigeria and many other countries around the world. This makes the MDCN one of the foremost medical regulatory authorities in Africa. Across all of our zonal offices and at headquarters in Abuja, the staff of the MDCN come to work committed to our mission and focused on providing exceptional regulatory services.
