*NANTMP Vice President Vows to Foster Unity and Growth in Traditional Medicine Practice*



Chief (Dr.) Isa Obele, Vice President, North Central of the National 
 Association of Nigerian Traditional Medicine Practitioners (NANTMP), has pledged to collaborate with members in the region to promote unity and cohesion, aiming to elevate the organization to greater heights.

In an interview with newsnowexpress, Chief Dr. Obele emphasized NANTMP's commitment to supporting the Federal Government's renewed hope agenda in the health sector. He assured that the association will leave no stone unturned in achieving this goal .

To achieve this vision, Chief Dr. Obele urged members to remain focused and resolute in their support for the Association's leadership. He stressed that instructions should only come from the association's leadership, ensuring a unified front.

The Vice President also addressed the importance of proper licensing, advising members to obtain their licenses from NANTMP. He clarified that licenses from other bodies are invalid, as NANTMP is the only recognized body by both federal and state governments.

Chief Dr. Obele displayed a sample of the NANTMP license to provide clarity on this requirement. This move aims to maintain professionalism and standards in traditional medicine practice.

The NANTMP's commitment to supporting the Federal Government's health agenda is timely, considering the growing interest in traditional medicine in Nigeria. Studies have shown that traditional medicine plays a significant role in healthcare delivery in Nigerian communities ¹[3).

In fact, research has highlighted the need for effective regulation and education in traditional medicine to ensure its safe and effective practice ². NANTMP's efforts to promote unity and licensing are crucial steps towards achieving this goal.

As the association moves forward, Chief Dr. Obele's leadership will be instrumental in promoting collaboration and growth among members. By working together, NANTMP can contribute significantly to Nigeria's healthcare sector.

The association's focus on licensing and unity is also expected to enhance the credibility of traditional medicine practitioners in Nigeria. This, in turn, will boost public confidence in the sector.

With Chief Dr. Obele at the helm, NANTMP is poised to make a lasting impact on traditional medicine practice in Nigeria, aligning with global efforts to promote integrative healthcare .
