The Registrar of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, Dr Tajudeen Sanusi, cautioned the inductees against divulging information on social media platforms.
“Confidentiality of profession is very important and if you are so engrossed in social media, you will not know when you release certain information about your patients.
“When your patient comes to you, you owe that patient the duty of good care, including the confidentiality of what you have heard and what you have seen about that patient. Your conduct is very important.”
He asseverated that the induction ceremony was a call to service and it was a service to humanity.
Also speaking at the occasion, the Chief Executive Officer of Clina Lancet Laboratories Nigeria, Dr Olayemi Dawodu, said “Never get tired of the quest for knowledge and self-improvement. Be deliberate, create a schedule, and invest in yourself.”
