The Medical and Dental professions in Nigeria are regulated by the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act Cap 221 (now Cap M8) Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1990 which sets up the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.

The Council is empowered to make Rules of professional conduct and is also empowered to establish the Medical and Dental Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal and Medical Practitioners Investigating Panel among other organs for the enforcement of these Rules of Conduct.

These Rules of Conduct are made to enable doctors and dentists in Nigeria maintain universally acceptable Professional standards of practice and conduct. They serve as standards in relationship of medical and dental practitioners with the profession, their colleagues, patients, members of allied professions and the public.
