It is my honor and privilege to welcome you all to this platform.

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) plays a key role in healthcare delivery and addressing health impacts related to residency training in Nigeria.  Over the years NARD has ensured to be an integral part of health care development in Nigeria and we have been able to do this through:

Advocacy for Better Working Conditions - NARD advocates for better working conditions for resident doctors, which can directly affect their physical and mental health, as well as the quality of patient care. Improved working conditions will also help to address ‘JAPA syndrome’ currently being witnessed in Nigeria.

Policy Influence - NARD engages in discussions with relevant Federal government agencies, state governments, Nigerian Medical Association, other policymakers and stakeholders to influence healthcare reforms that can lead to better health delivery for the citizenry.

Public Health Programs - Through The Doctor's Reach Out Program (TDROP), NARD has been able to bring health closer to the people by participating  in public health campaigns and initiatives like Medical Outreach, promoting awareness and preventive measures for various health issues.

Research and Development - Our Journal, Nigerian Journal of Medicine (NJM) provides  research works that are relevant to healthcare and has served as a source of academic information  for a more pragmatic approach in medical practice.

Mental Health Support - Recognizing the stress and burnout associated with residency training, NARD provides resources and programs focused on mental health support for its members.

Training and Medical Education - The organization has a medical education unit where residents receive comprehensive training that ultimately impacts health outcomes.

This platform will therefore serve to provide to the public health information and health impact from the Leadership of Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors through bright ideas, dauntless commitment, bold leadership, Advocacy and Networking.

In addition, access to reliable health information is essential for making informed decisions. This platform will provide a wealth of resources, including articles, papers, report, statistics, reviews and essays on various health topics, nuggets on maintaining a good and healthy lifestyle and the essentials for managing our healthcare needs.

We are poised to provide resources on physical and mental health and provide guidance to the public on other health related issues.

We have membership across the 36 states of Nigeria and the FCT who are well trained and saddled to ensure they give their utmost best in service to humanity and well being of the people especially those in their immediate environment.

Our team of healthcare professionals and experts have designed different content on this website to ensure accuracy and relevance.

I implore you to join us on this drive to better health and become part of our vibrant community. Let us come together to promote health and well being in our society and ensure Universal Health Coverage through adequate health information so that we can achieve better health goals.

We also look forward to partnering with relevant stakeholders and other partners for Health promotion in Nigeria and beyond.
