On behalf of the Zambia Association of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians (ZAGO), we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mufulira District for hosting this year’s World Contraception and International Safe Abortion Day commemorations respectively. Their preparations were unmatched, dedication amazing, focus to raising awareness about the importance of access to modern contraceptives and safe abortion services respectively – made significant impact to the SRH movement. Many thanks to the guest of honour, District Commissioner, Mr Evaristo Chilumba, and keynote speakers, Town Clerk Mrs Kasonde Chisanga Musongole, District Health Director Dr Able Hamoonga, and Dr Chazya Sikambale for continued support towards achieving a healthier Zambia. To everyone at the centre of organising the event, thank you for your support and commitment to promoting reproductive health.
This year’s International Safe Abortion Day carried the theme “Safe Abortion is Life-saving Healthcare”, while World Contraception Day was commemorated under the theme “A choice for all – agency, intention, access.”

As we join the globe in commemorating International Safe Abortion Day, we are cognisant of the huge burden unsafe abortion poses not only to individual women and girls, but also to the healthcare system. We therefore join hands with all stakeholders to prevent unsafe abortion countrywide.

Yesterday, we held a media conference ahead of today's World Contraception Day. The event brought together media practitioners, healthcare providers, Civil Society Organisations, parents and young people to raise awareness about the critical role of contraception in reducing maternal and infant mortality, preventing unintended pregnancies, and promoting gender equality.
As Zambia joins the rest of the world in commemorating this important day, ZAGO emphasise the call to highlight the importance of contraception and family planning to curbing unintended pregnancies, teenage pregnancies, and enhancing gender equality.

Recently, we successfully trained peer educators in Adolescent and Youth-Friendly Health Services in Mufulira and Chingola districts respectively. The program continues in other districts in which the project, “Improving access to and use of SRHR services by adolescents and young people,” is implemented.

The training aims at empowering young people to become champions of their own health, promoting awareness, responsible behaviours, and access to youth-friendly health services.

A big thank you to all the passionate participants and trainers who made this possible. Together, we're fostering a healthier, and more informed generation.

The ZAGO team recently successfully undertook onsite visits across all project sites on the Copperbelt to assess the implementation of the SRH (Sexual and Reproductive Health) project. The visits provided valuable insights, strengthened our resolve and collaboration with healthcare facilities, healthcare workers, community members, and adolescents and young people – and ensured all awareness activities are reaching the communities effectively.
A huge thanks to everyone involved – your dedication and hard work are making a real difference on the ground! Together, we're advancing awareness, and access to SRH services for adolescents and young people. We are gradually eliminating many challenges and barriers facing adolescents and young people to access SRH services.
Together, we stand strong!
