Private doctors connect to old colleagues at gala
Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP) in Lagos has held its Gala and Awards at Protea Hotel Marriot Select, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
The event brought together old friends, and featured award presentations.
Chairman, Dr Jonathan Esegine, said he was blessed to head the new administration, assuring that he will not disappoint members’ trust.
“We will work conscious of our aims and objectives, collaborating with government in promoting, maintaining, preserving health of the people and improving medical education even as we promote and defend our members’ welfare and dignity,” Dr Esegine said.
Highlighting his achievements in three months, Dr Esegine said that through support of members, land given to the association by then government of Bola Tinubu, as governor of Lagos State, had been converted into a two storey structure; roofed and almost completed.
“I am glad that with renewed interest of our elders, we will achieve that objective. We desire that you speak to government, high networth individuals and organisations so we can accomplish the task,” he added.
Chair of Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Lagos Zone, Dr Babajide Saheed, urged the government to collaborate with private medical practitioners to make healthcare delivery accessible.
