The Medical and Dental Consultants Association
of Nigeria (MDCAN) is to construct a national secretariat complex to ease its
administration. The complex, sited at Lugbe 1 Layout in Abuja, will also
accommodate the head office of a health maintenance organisation MDCAN is
floating, an events centre and a 52-room guest house in two later phases.
The MDCAN President, Ngim Ngim, at the ground-breaking and foundation-laying
ceremony, said the complex would help the association in “storage, easy
retrieval of documents, improve coordination of activities and programmes,
enhance communication and relationship with partners and bolster its image and
status.
“It will also serve as a platform to diversify the source of revenue of the
association in the near future rather than total dependence on capitation and
levies.” Daily Trust
