HealthNewsNg Exclusive: Nigerian Medical Association's Website Domain Has Expired

HealthNewsNg has exclusively gathered that the official website of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) - the umbrella body of physicians in Nigeria is no longer function following the expiration of the site's domain registration. Our investigation showed that the NMA, whose members exceed 35,000 and is referred to as the largest professional body of physicians in Africa, failed renew the domain registration.

 A member of the association who spoke on condition of anonymity blamed the leadership of the association for not fully embracing information technology. Another member who also spoke to HealthNewsNg suggested the leadership is planning to purchase another domain name that is entirely different from the expired one.

However, the association's page on Wikipedia still has links to the expired domain suggesting that the association has not yet updated its Wikipedia page with information on its new website.

According to the online encyclopedia,members of the association cut across various specialties in the health sector.

It said: "NMA's membership spans all six major specialties of Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Public Health and Laboratory Medicine/Pathology. The NMA was established in 1951 and is located in Abuja with over 30 branch offices throughout Nigeria."

  2. But why that domain gets blocked? Is this due to exceed of members or someone hacked it?
