Strengthening Nursing and Midwifery Education through Collaboration
As Saicrio, we are proud to be part of the Solidarmed Workshop, where we are conducting Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with key stakeholders shaping the future of nursing education in Zambia.
Our evaluation brings together:
✔ Students, lecturers, and alumni from the 10 provincial nursing and midwifery colleges
✔ Public health nursing experts from WHO, ICN, and ECSACOM
✔ Training institution administrators and regulatory bodies
✔ Healthcare professionals from the Ministry of Education (Healthy Learners), Ministry of Mines (Public Health & Safety), and Ministry of Local Government & Housing (Local Council Public Health Departments)
Yesterday, we had an insightful FGD with college heads, exchanging ideas on how to strengthen training, improve public health outcomes, and build resilient health systems.

Together, we are working towards a stronger, more responsive nursing and midwifery workforce for Zambia.

Congratulations to Our Masterclass Graduates – The Future of Healthcare Leadership Begins Here

SAICRIO proudly hosted the Entrepreneurial Medical Indaba Masterclass, a transformative initiative held in partnership with Teledoctor Zambia, Duniya Health and ABSA, aimed at redefining the future of healthcare leadership and innovation in Zambia.

This was more than a training; it was a movement. A call for healthcare professionals and researchers to look beyond traditional practice to think strategically, act innovatively, and lead with purpose in building sustainable health systems.

Participants gained practical, life-changing insights from developing sustainable health businesses and mastering professional branding to harnessing digital tools and cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset.

At SAICRIO, we are committed to bridging science, innovation, and leadership to drive meaningful impact across Zambia’s health and research landscape. Together with our partners, we are nurturing a new generation of professionals ready to transform healthcare from research to real-world solutions.

To our graduates congratulations! You are the leaders of tomorrow, and your journey toward a stronger, healthier, and more resilient Zambia has just begun.

A Special Thank You

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took part in our online survey. We would like to thank the Treatment Advocacy and Literacy Campaign (TALC) in partnership with the Zambia Network For Young People Living with HIV - ZNYP+

Your voices and experiences are invaluable in highlighting the real impact of the recent PEPFAR funding cuts on people living with HIV in Zambia. From challenges in accessing medication and lab tests to the psychological effects of uncertainty, your input will guide stronger advocacy and evidence-based solutions.

Together, we are amplifying the voices of communities, strengthening health literacy, and ensuring no one is left behind in the fight for equitable access to HIV care.

At SAICRIO we believe research should not end in reports… it should change lives! That’s why we are proud to be part of the Engage Movement, where media and researchers join forces to turn evidence into stories that inspire action.

Our CEO, Prof. Wilbroad Mutale, hopes this is the start of a powerful journey between researchers and the media to shape health and policy across Zambia.

Because when research meets storytelling, impact becomes unstoppable.
