About
Who we are
The Society of Private Medical and Dental Practitioners (SPMDP) was formed in 1968. It grew from a small group of practitioners in Kumasi, who saw the need for private practitioners to come together to discuss and look after their needs and started meeting regularly, to about 500 members today who still meet regularly to discuss issues of interest to the Practitioners and the Society.
- To ensure that Private Medical and Dental Practitioners in the country uphold the Hippocratic Oath
- To promote good health amongst all people, through participation in the development and maintenance of the highest possible stands of healthcare delivery in Ghana
