Verification of Doctors in Nigeria
- How do I verify a doctor in Nigeria? Members of the public can phone the council’s call centre to check if a doctor is registered. For your patients, make sure relevant paperwork is filled out to allow hospital processes. To offer online services, create an EPIC account to have medical credentials verified. The HPCSA requires this for basic qualifications obtained outside South Africa. All new applicants must establish an EPIC account. Cost is 235 pounds. The UK has a centre in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu for the exam twice a year.
Medical Practices in Nigeria
