Dr Osahon Enabulele, former President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has emerged President-elect of the World Medical Association (WMA).
The incumbent President of Commonwealth Medical Association (CMA) won the election after voting by countries’ National Medical Associations.
Enabulele is the first West African to be elected WMA President since the world body was established in 1947.
The Chief Consultant Family Physician will lead the WMA between the 2022 – 2023 executive year.
