Training is a core business of the Council. It assures the public that a doctor whose name appears on the medical register has met appropriate training standards for medical practice in Ghana.
The Medical and Dental Council is the Statutory Governmental
Agency that regulates standards of training and practice of
medicine and dentistry in Ghana. It was established under
the Medical and Dental Decree, 1972 (NRCD 91), as amended by
the Medical and Dental (Amendment) Decree, 1979 (NRCD 91),
and Medical and Dental (Amendment) Decree, 1979 (AFRCD 8).
The NRCD 91 repealed the then existing Medical and Dental
Act, 1959 (Act 36) as subsequently amended. Subject to the
provisions of the NRCD 91, the Medical and Dental Board (Act
36) then in existence immediately before the commencement of
the Decree was deemed to be the Medical and Dental Council
under the Decree.
