Why post-2021 Ukraine medical degrees will not be recognised – MDCN

The Medical and Dental Council has said medical and dental certificates issued by medical schools in Ukraine from 2022 will not be honoured by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria until when normal academic activities resume in that country.

The medical council disclosed this on its social media platforms on Tuesday.

The council had in 2022 warned that it would not recognise certificates issued by Ukrainian medical schools until normal academic activities resume.

The council also reiterated that online medical degrees were equally not recognised.

In its post on Tuesday, the council said it had “advised students who were studying medicine or dentistry in Ukrainian medical schools to seek transfer to other accredited medical or dental schools in other countries for the completion of their programmes.”

“Council also wishes to state that online medical training being organised by schools in Ukraine, China or any part of the world is short of an acceptable standard and is not recognised by the MDCN.

“In light of the above, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria will not honour any medical degree certificates issued at the end of any online medical training.”
