Breaking NewsAssociation of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas
(ANPA) Program Committee Members: Dr. Adedeji Adefuye, Dr. Ola Akinboboye, Dr. Osaretin Idusuyi, Dr. Ernest Madu, Dr. Enyi Okereke, and Dr. Ajovi Scott-Emuapor We have chosen as our theme for this year’s conference, Health Care and National Development. This theme gives us an opportunity to view health and health care as critical components of development and allows us to expose the interrelatedness of Health with other social ends, such as education, productivity, political stability and broad justice. One big reason why we have chosen to take our 15th annual convention to Nigeria in 2009 is our belief that this exposure may increase our ability to have some influence on policies related to Health. Another reason is that we wanted an environment conducive to a meaningful relationship with our courageous colleagues who have remained at home to continue the delivery of healthcare to our brothers and sisters. We also wanted to showcase our mission, A healthier Nigeria in a Healthier World, and to salute all those who have contributed to a healthier Nigeria. << MORE INFO >> The ANPA Preferred Group Purchasing Program The ANPA Preferred Group Partnership Program is designed to provide added value to our members by providing significant savings off Henry Schein’s usual pricing for medical and surgical equipment and other medical office practice supplies.
