Last update: 5 hours ago

Ambulance Crash: A government ambulance on Great East Road near Mashlands veered off the road, hitting a pole and billboard, leaving three people with serious injuries who were rushed to Levy Mwanawasa Teaching Hospital; police say investigations are underway. Vision Care via Churches: VisionSpring is partnering with church networks in Uganda, Zambia and Malawi to train pastors for community eye screenings and distribute affordable reading glasses, improving access where public services fall short. TB Vaccine Push: Gates Medical Research Institute and the Serum Institute of India signed an agreement to manufacture TB vaccine candidate M72/AS01E, in Phase 3 trials across South Africa, Kenya, Malawi, Zambia and Indonesia—aimed at scaling access if approved. Cholera Update: Zambia declared the 2025 cholera outbreak over after four straight weeks with no confirmed cases, while warning that risk remains and urging continued water, sanitation and hygiene efforts. Digital Payments for Health: Bankers Association of Zambia says cheques are being phased out as the country moves to real-time digital payments, with spending agencies including rural health centres migrated ahead of the June 30 deadline. Adolescent Health Dialogue: CIDRZ supported the Lusaka Provincial Adolescent Health Indaba, backing efforts to strengthen adolescent-friendly services and prevention of epidemics. Election Health & Safety: Police clarified that Mtendere/Kalingalinga claims of shots and deaths were false; they say a pellet from tear smoke canisters accidentally struck a girl’s leg and she was treated at Mtendere Clinic. Suicide Hotspot Data: WHO estimates place Zambia among Africa’s higher suicide-rate countries, highlighting a growing mental health concern alongside other public health priorities.
