The Nigerian Medical Association is set to host the highly anticipated 7th edition of the NMA Games. This prestigious event will take place in Lagos from Monday, February 19th to Saturday, February 24th, 2024, at multiple venues including the University of Lagos Sports Complex and the Ikeja Golf Course.

Expectation is high for this year’s games, with over one thousand doctors from seven regional zones expected to participate in a variety of sporting events ranging from football to chess. This gathering does not only celebrate athleticism but also fosters camaraderie and wellness among Nigeria’s esteemed physicians and medical professionals.

Reflecting on the history of the NMA Games, Dr. Benjamin Olowojebutu, Chairman NMA Lagos Zone and Head LOC for NMA National Games Eko 2024 recalled the resilience showcased during the 6th edition in Abeokuta amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, the South-South zone have emerged victorious in the last two editions, highlighting the spirit of competitiveness and excellence within the medical community.

“Against the backdrop of current national circumstances, we recognize and commend the selfless dedication of medical professionals across the country. Now more than ever, it is crucial to acknowledge their invaluable contributions to society,” he added.

The NMA Games serve as a platform to promote physical and mental well-being among medical professionals. Eko 2024 exemplifies how sports can contribute to a healthier lifestyle and sharper minds, especially in the face of demanding professional responsibilities.

According to Dr. Israel Jeremiah, the National Games Master, “This year’s edition will feature a total of 12 competitive games. In addition, the NMA Doctors’ Games will also feature musical and cultural showcases, networking opportunities, and special ceremonies to honour outstanding athletes and participants”.

A pre-games scientific conference was earlier held to address the intersection of medicine and sports science, emphasizing the importance of health and fitness advancement. He concluded.

Dignitaries expected to grace the event include the Honourable Minister of Health Professor Ali Pate, and the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
