Congratulations Professor Ngoma 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

ZPA congratulates Professor Mary Shilalukey Ngoma on her historic inauguration as a full Professor of Pediatrics, Child, and Newborn Health at the University of Zambia!

As Zambia’s first female Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (Edinburgh) and the first female full Professor at UNZA, her four-decade career exemplifies excellence in clinical practice, education, research, and policy.

A pioneering pediatrician and neonatologist, Prof. Ngoma has transformed child and newborn health in Zambia and globally, raising $70 million for reproductive and child health programs, authoring 84 refereed papers, and leading groundbreaking research on neonatal HIV/AIDS and community health interventions.

Her leadership at UNZA, WHO, and the Ministry of Health, along with prestigious awards like the 2022 Presidential Insignia for Meritorious Achievement, reflects her unwavering commitment to humanity, driven by faith.

Here’s to her continued impact!

Young Leaders, Big Hearts — Rhodes Park School Gives Back!

We were excited to receive a visit from the Rhodes Park School Student Council, who generously chose the UTHs–Children’s Hospital as beneficiaries of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative last term.

The funds were raised through various school activities such as Civilian Day, reflecting the students’ commitment to making a positive impact in their community.

The students took on a meaningful project, painting Ward A04 and bringing a fresh, cheerful atmosphere to the ward and brightening the environment for our young patients.

We are deeply touched by this thoughtful gesture, one that not only supports our young patients but also nurtures empathy, compassion, and a sense of civic responsibility among learners.

With such passion and kindness on display, we just might be looking at some of our future paediatricians!

Thank you Rhodes Park School for inspiring hope and standing with us in caring for children!

Celebrating World Oxygen Day!

On 2nd October 2025, the UTHs- Children’s Hospital and Civil Society for Medical Oxygen Access in Zambia, joined the global community in commemorating World Oxygen Day.

World Oxygen Day shines a light on the life-saving role of medical oxygen, tackles the stigma surrounding its use, and brings attention to the challenges many patients face in accessing this vital therapy.

As part of the commemoration, PATH sponsored an in-house Oxygen Support training, equipping our staff with skills to deliver better care for children and families in need.

Oxygen is not a privilege, it is a basic need that can mean the difference between life and death, especially for children, newborns, and critically ill patients.

Let’s work together to ensure that every breath counts.
