As part of its effort to rid the medical profession of bad eggs, about 100 doctors from across the country will face a tribunal set up by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria in Abuja over various professional misconduct.

The MDCN is the regulatory body of all medical and alternative medicine practitioners in Nigeria with the mandate to discipline any erring practitioner whose actions or in-actions fall short of the medical professional ethics.

According to a report by Punch, Fifteen cases were brought before the tribunal two weeks ago with two convictions, while some of the cases were adjourned.

Although a date has yet to be fixed for the trial, a source at the MDNC said it would hold soon with about 100 doctors involved.

Counsel for one of the accused doctors, Akanni Kazeem, told Punch that he was awaiting the date for the trial, while also confirming that about 100 doctors would face trial for professional misconduct.
