History of MWAN Enugu
In 1979 MWAN held its first National Biennial Conference in Lagos with the theme “Survival of the child in the Nigerian environment.” Professor Nene Agugua-Obianyo was the only female doctor from the South-East in attendance. Upon her return to Enugu, she made membership drives and convened the first meeting in May 1979.

The most senior female doctor in the state at that time was Dr. Winifred Kaine and she was invited to become the First President of MWAN Enugu (then Anambra) while Professor Obianyo became the First Secretary.
