Since 1986, China has consistently deployed Military Medical Teams to Zambia, comprising specialised medical personnel who work alongside and complement the specialists at Maina Soko Medical Centre. For over forty (40) years, this enduring partnership has significantly strengthened healthcare delivery and deepened the bonds of friendship between the two nations.

Earlier in the week, the 28แต—สฐ Chinese Military Medical Team officially departed following the successful completion of its tour of duty and the formal handover of responsibilities to the incoming team. The transition marked another important milestone in the long-standing tradition of cooperation and shared commitment to quality medical care.

The Commandant, Brigadier General Dr Levy MUCHEMWA, in the company of selected members of staff, was present at the airport to see off the outgoing team.

As the 29แต—สฐ Chinese Military Medical Team assumes its mission, Maina Soko Medical Centre looks forward to continued collaboration, knowledge exchange, and excellence in patient care.

Ministry of Defence Permanent Secretary Maambo HAAMAUNDU has commended the Chinese Military for its continued contribution to the development of Zambiaโ€™s healthcare services through the Zambia Defence Force.

Mr HAAMAUNDU noted that for over 40 years, Zambiaโ€™s military medical personnel have benefited from advanced medical training and skills transfer facilitated by China, significantly improving patient care and service delivery.

Speaking during the 28แต—สฐ Chinese Military Medical Team Medals Parade and Farewell Banquet, the Permanent Secretary said the programme has strengthened capacity building and promoted knowledge exchange โ€” critical components in the advancement of the medical profession.

At the same event, Chinese Embassy Chargรฉ dโ€™Affaires Mr WANG Sheng reaffirmed Chinaโ€™s commitment to deepening the longstanding bilateral relations between the two countries. He stated that China remains dedicated to transforming the profound traditional friendship into an inexhaustible driving force for mutually beneficial cooperation in the โ€œnew era.โ€

Meanwhile, the Commandant of Maina Soko Medical Centre, Brig Gen Dr Levy MUCHEMWA, hailed the 28แต—สฐ Chinese Military Medical Team for demonstrating exceptional professionalism and dedication during their deployment.

The Commandant expressed gratitude to the Government of China for its continued responsiveness to the institutionโ€™s operational needs, particularly through the deployment of highly specialised medical personnel.

He highlighted that a clear demonstration of this goodwill is the inclusion of a Radiologist, Biomedical Engineer and Nephrologist in the incoming 29แต—สฐ Chinese Military Medical Team.

Each year, China deploys a multidisciplinary team of military medical doctors to Zambia. Working alongside their Zambian counterparts at Maina Soko Medical Centre, the team undertakes complex medical procedures while fostering professional development and strengthening bilateral cooperation in the health sector.

A combined delegation from the Ministry of Health (MoH), the Zambia National Public Health Institute (ZNPHI), the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and UK-Med has paid a courtesy and working visit to Maina Soko Medical Centre as part of an ongoing Emergency Medical Team (EMT) scoping mission.

The visit was conducted to assess the Medical Centreโ€™s operational readiness and capacity to support national and regional public health emergency response mechanisms in line with Zambiaโ€™s developing National Emergency Medical Team framework.

During the visit, the delegation toured key clinical and operational areas, including the Emergency Department, the Infectious Diseases Unit and designated isolation facilities. The engagements enabled detailed discussions on clinical command and control, surge capacity, infection prevention and control (IPC) protocols, and the management of high-risk infectious diseases within a military medical environment.

The delegation was formally received by the Commandant, Brigadier General (Dr) Levy MUCHEMWA, following which a briefing and consultative meeting was held with the Deputy Commandant and Head of Clinical Care, Colonel (Dr) Patson BANDA, and selected senior members of staff.

Deliberations centred on the role of Maina Soko Medical Centre in supporting national health emergency preparedness and response, as well as areas of cooperation to enhance interoperability, rapid medical deployment, and coordinated response during public health emergencies.

The visit reaffirmed the strategic importance of Defence medical facilities in complementing the national health system and underscored the value of civil-military and international collaboration in strengthening Zambiaโ€™s capacity to effectively respond to public health emergencies.
