The betterment of the practice of medicine among its members
The Society of Medical Doctors has been established with the aim of providing a vehicle through which doctors can support the government and other players in their efforts to improve the delivery of health care in Malawi. In the Malawi model of health care delivery it is assumed that the medical doctors will provide leadership in the provision of quality care and thereby ensure the credibility of medical care in Malawi. So far the efforts by the medical doctors have been commendable, but could have more impact if they had a collective voice. The SMD is there to provide a voice for doctors and facilitate their participation in and create an interface with government, the public and the health profession.
