FGMSA sues Medical and Dental Council to halt Common Registration Examination

The Federation of Ghana Medical Students’ Associations (FGMSA) and affected graduating medical and dental students have sued the Medical and Dental Council (MDC), seeking to restrain the regulator from conducting the Common Registration Examination (CRE). In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, and signed by its National Executive Council, FGMSA said the case had been filed at the High Court’s Human Rights Division in Accra. The applicants are seeking an injunction to prevent the examination from being conducted pending the determination of the substantive legal issues before the court. The action follows unsuccessful attempts to resolve their concerns through engagement with the relevant authorities, according to the Federation.
