🌟 ZAQA & ZCHA: Advancing Health Assistant Training in Zambia 🌟
Zambia’s healthcare system is growing, but there’s a critical need for skilled support staff. That’s why Zambia Council for Health Assistants (ZCHA) has officially approached the Zambia Qualifications Authority (ZAQA) to get our Health Assistant courses recognized, including Nursing Assistants, Medical Assistants, and Pharmacy Assistants.
Why this matters:
✅ Standardized training that meets national qualifications
✅ Competent graduates ready to support doctors, nurses, and pharmacists
✅ Improved quality of healthcare across Zambia
✅ Clear career pathways and employment opportunities for Health Assistants
✅ Ensuring full compliance with Zambian law to avoid conflicts and uphold professional standards
ZCHA is not only advocating for employment opportunities but also ensuring that the introduction of Health Assistant roles is fully compliant with existing regulations, creating a system that is legal, credible, and sustainable.
We believe that empowering Health Assistants is empowering Zambia’s healthcare system. Together, we can strengthen our hospitals, clinics, and communities by ensuring skilled support staff are trained, certified, and ready to make a difference.
📢 We invite health institutions, professionals, and the public to support this initiative. Let’s build a healthier Zambia together!
