 CHAIRMAN’S OPENING ADDRESS AT THE 2011 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD ON 27TH JULY, 2011 AT KINGSTONE GRAND SUITES, ONIKANGA, G.R.A, ILORIN

I salute you all. It is one year since you gave us the mandate to steer the affairs of our noble association. We thank God almighty who had spared our lives until this time and we pray to him to grant us many more years in good health.
We promised at inception to reorganize the Secretariat and ensure that every member of our noble association is well informed about events in the association. We were able to ensure that notices of meetings and important notices and events were send through SMS and Emails to our members in the first few months of coming to office. We will very soon ensure that all members of the association get decision extracts and detail minutes of meetings sent to them via email. We have been able to provide members with identity cards of the association. Those who have not gotten theirs should please fill the necessary forms and they will get theirs before the end of the year.
We are compiling a data base of all the Medical Doctors in the state. We hope to provide a Kwara State Medical Directory before the end of the year, which will contain the data of all the Doctors in the State, both in the public and private sector .This directory will be made available to all...

SECRETARIAT REPORT

The current State Executive Council was elected and inaugurated at the 2010 AGM held on 17th July, 2010 at Doctors House, GRA Ilorin with a mandate of steering the ship of our noble association on the part of progress for the next two years. Since inception of this current executive, the secretariat has been a beehive of activities tailored towards a well-informed, motivated, fully-participating membership and a vibrant association.
The policy thrust of the secretariat has been to restructure and reposition Kwara NMA for a better, more efficient and effective welfare services for members, and working in partnership with government and other relevant stakeholders in improving health care delivery in the State. Consequently, the secretariat has been providing supportive coordination of the programmes and activities of the association with a view to moving the association forward. Some of these activities are outlined below:

1. ADVOCACY
On assumption of office, we paid courtesy visits to the Chief Medical Director, UITH Ilorin, Vice Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Honourable Commissioner for Health, Kwara State; other well meaning individuals and cooperate bodies which yielded positive results. During these visits, issues of mutual interest were discussed and we intimated them on the vision of the new SOC. They pledged their support and cooperation especially in the areas of improved welfare for our members. The association also received delegations from banks, NGOs and political groups at the secretariat with the visits dwelling on requests for partnership/business relationship and other issues of common interest.

2. COMMITTEE WORK
Standing and adhoc committees were duly constituted by SEC and ratified by the OGM for ease of administration, all inclusiveness and to engage capable/experienced members in the task of realizing the vision and mission of the current executives.

These committees have been actively pursuing their mandates with the full support of the secretariat. Of particular note are the activities of the Housing, Car Acquisition, Education, Editorial, Loan and CPD/CME committees.
We secured a weekly free air-time on Kwara State Television which is been utilized by the Education committee for public enlightenment on health matters. The secretariat is involved in transporting members to the station who featured weekly to discuss topics of public health importance (in Yoruba and English) as a way of checking the menace of traditional herbalist and quacks who have colonized the air waves in recent times. The association will soon commence a monthly interactive forum with members of the public on health matters which will be transmitted live on KWTV.

The Editorial committee sustained the legacy of publishing the newsletter of the association, the Mediscope. This much improved 11th edition served as an avenue of providing our members with scholarly articles as well as information on our activities, upcoming events and a plat form for pharmaceutical/laboratory equipment companies to advertise their products. The secretariat was involved in the collation and circulation/distribution of the newsletter to all our members. Efforts are in top gear to publish the 12th edition of the Mediscope as well as the maiden edition of the Savannah Journal of Medical Research and Practice, which is the official journal of Kwara NMA.

NMA KWARA MEMBERSHIP LOAN SCHEME

The NMA Kwara SEC inaugurated a Nine-man committee early last year to work out a modality for packaging loan for members through a suitable commercial bank at the most favorable rate achievable. Six (6) leading commercial banks made presentations to the committee, to the SEC and later at the OGM. Eventually UBA Plc with its team of young, dedicated and hardworking staff had an edge.                                                                                                       ...more
