More Than a Registry.
Nigeria's Healthcare Trust Layer.
Nigeria Medical Registry is not just a database of names. It is the national trust infrastructure that makes Nigerian healthcare verifiable, searchable, traceable, and safer at scale — bringing every stakeholder into one coordinated system where trust is no longer assumed but proven in real time.

Nigeria's Unified Healthcare Identity & Credential Verification Infrastructure
Nigeria Medical Registry is the single operational layer through which professional legitimacy, institutional trust, public protection, compliance visibility, and workforce mobility can be managed at scale.

- Facility and institution trust scoring
- Blockchain-secured audit trails
- AI fraud intelligence engine
- Employment and workforce mobility
- Citizen-facing patient protection tools

Why Eight Councils
Alone Are Not Enough
Nigeria's healthcare regulatory landscape is important, but fragmented. When each body works in isolation, fraud exploits the gaps between them.
The result is slow verification, poor interoperability, inconsistent visibility, hiring risk, payroll leakage, and patient vulnerability.
NMR does not erase the councils. It strengthens them by connecting them into one national trust architecture where professional status, institutional validity, and enforcement actions can be visible in real time.
Slow verification
Real-time status lookup in 2 seconds
Poor interoperability
One unified system across all 8 councils
Hiring fraud risk
Pre-verified Employment Hub profiles
Payroll leakage
IPPIS-linked ghost worker detection
Patient vulnerability
Free public verification on any phone
The Crisis NMR Is Solving
Nigeria faces a devastating healthcare credentialing crisis across five dimensions. NMR was built to solve every single one.
80,000+
Unverified Practitioners
Fake doctors, unregistered nurses, fraudulent pharmacists serving patients with zero credential verification across Nigeria.
40,000
Ghost Workers on Payroll
Individuals who do not exist collecting government health salaries. Annual cost: ₦1.2 trillion stolen from Nigeria's healthcare budget.
63%
Doctor Emigration Rate
Nigeria trains doctors at enormous public expense and loses the majority to the UK, USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia and UAE.
₦3.2T
Annual Healthcare Fraud
Ghost patient claims, scope violations, equipment fraud and organized billing rings bleeding Nigeria's NHIA every year.
3–6 mo
International Verification Delays
Manual credential verification for Nigerian doctors and nurses seeking work abroad used to take months, costing income and careers.
From Fragmentation to National Trust Infrastructure
What began as a verification vision has matured into a broader sovereign health trust infrastructure.
Concept developed by Federal Ministry of Health and One Health Global Technologies following landmark healthcare fraud report
Memoranda of Understanding signed with all 8 regulatory councils — MDCN, NMCN, PCN, MLSCN, RRBN, MRTB, ODORBN and TMB
Blockchain architecture deployed, IPPIS integration with Federal Ministry of Finance completed, pilot with 12,000 practitioners
National rollout across all 36 states + FCT. QR scan verification launched for public use on all mobile networks
Full operation. 380,000+ practitioners verified, 3,200+ facilities enrolled, GMVE live, ghost worker detection saving ₦8.4B monthly
