Welcome to the redesigned Web Portal of the Medical and Dental Council of The Gambia (MDCG), a statutory Government Agency that regulates the standards of training and practice of medicine and dentistry in The Gambia. The MDCG was established by an Act of Parliament entitled the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act 1988 Laws of The Gambia. The Council operates through Statutory (Disciplinary Committee) and Standing Committees (Accreditation & Registration Committee, Finance & General Purposes Committee, Education & Research Committee, and Ad-Hoc Committee). The MDCG as mandated by the MDPA 1988 is to ensure the provision of safe, trusted, high-quality healthcare to the people of The Gambia. One of the fundamental roles of MDCG is to ensure that the system delivers the best possible healthcare outcomes for the people of The Gambia. The MDCG is committed to regulating the profession and practice of medicine and dentistry in The Gambia as defined in our Vision and Mission statements:
Furthermore, the Council’s 2011 Code of Conduct and Medical Ethics (CCME) provides guidance to practitioners to achieve and maintain acceptable professional standards in the practice of medicine and dentistry. The CCME also serves as standards in relationship of medical and dental practitioners with the profession, their colleagues, patients, members of allied professions and the public. We hope that this new website will meet the needs of registered medical and dental practitioners as well as members of the public. We will strive to ensure that the Council continues to provide accurate and relevant information in a timely and easily accessible manner.
