About ANPMP
Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP), formerly “Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria (AGPMPN)” is the umbrella organization for all medical and dental doctors in private practice either as owners or employees.
Although private medical practice started in 1909, a formal Association of Private Practitioners was formed about 1921 under the name Association of General Medical Practitioners of Nigeria. Later on, in the late 1980s, the name of the Association was changed to Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria, to address the concerns of members who are specialists.
The Association is organized on a National, State, and Zonal Basis across Nigeria.
The highest authority in the organization is the Annual General Meeting, AGM, held during the Annual Scientific Conference. In between AGMs, the Association is controlled by the National Executive Council, NEC, which consists of the National Officers and Chairmen and Secretaries of state branches.
The NEC meets about four times a year in states that volunteer to host the meetings. The National President of the Association, in consultation with other National officers, directs the affairs of the Association in between NEC meetings.
Our vision is to ensure the provision of high-quality healthcare in the private sector by highly-skilled professionals in a well-regulated environment.
- To promote the advancement of health and allied sciences.
- To promote welfare, encourage interrelation, and protect the honor and integrity of private practitioners for the overall improvement of the medical profession.
- To promote continuing professional development activities that will assist private practitioners to update their professional knowledge and skills for the enhancement of health care services in Nigeria.

- To assist the Government and people of Nigeria in the provision of smooth, efficient, and effective health care services in the country. Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP), formerly “Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria (AGPMPN)” is the umbrella organization.
