The Registrar/CEO of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), Professor Fatima Kyari, received a courtesy visit from the Registrar of the Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board of Nigeria (MRTB), Professor Rufai Ahmad.

During their meeting, both Registrars exchanged views on the advancement of medical rehabilitation in Nigeria's healthcare system.
