Ex-NMA boss becomes president World Medical Association

A former President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Dr. Osahon Enabulele, has been inaugurated as the President of the World Medical Association.

Enabulele, a Consultant in Family Medicine at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Edo State, was sworn in as the President of the WMA for 2022 to 2023 on Friday, at the Annual General Assembly of the association held in Berlin, Germany.

He urged the WMA to be an untiring advocate of global public health interventions to reduce or eliminate the staggering health inequities and inequalities, across the globe.

The outgone WMA President, Dr. Heidi Stensmyren, in her valedictory speech, expressed concerns that thousands of physicians are leaving the profession early due to fear, burnout, and the often overlooked feeling of helplessness, worried that they can no longer make a difference.
