Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP), formerly “Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria (AGPMPN)” is the umbrella organization for all medical and dental doctors in private practice either as owners or employees.
Although private medical practice started in 1909, a formal Association of Private Practitioners was formed about 1921 under the name Association of General Medical Practitioners of Nigeria. Later on, in the late 1980s, the name of the Association was changed to Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria, to address the concerns of members who are specialists.
