BMSZ INDUCTS SIX NEW SCIENTISTS AT RUSANGU UNIVERSITY OATH-TAKING CEREMONY AND GRADUATION

We were honoured to represent the Biomedical Society of Zambia (BMSZ) at the 19th Graduation Ceremony of Rusangu University (RU), held from 5–7 September 2025 in Monze.

On Saturday, 6 September, we inducted six Biomedical Science graduates during a colourful oath-taking ceremony under the School of Health Sciences. We also presented a special shield to Chikungu, the best graduating student in recognition of her excellence and hard work.

In his remarks, BMSZ President Mr Mutale Mubanga encouraged the graduates not to be general biomedical scientists, but to deliberately carve out their niche of expertise within the vast field of biomedical sciences.

We also extend our warm congratulations to the faculty and staff of Rusangu University for their hard work in shaping the next generation of laboratory professionals.

Congratulations to the entire graduating class!

RETRO VIBES ONLY 🙂‍↔️

Nchanga North General Hospital brought back the days when coffee came in Styrofoam cups and the internet was dial-up. When your workday soundtrack was a mixtape of Glorious Banda "Tata mpeniko Amano," and your desk had more paper than pixels.

Casual Fridays, 90s style and yes, that’s how the team showed up to our team building today.

FLASH BACK FRIDAY

A walk down memory lane of technology that set trends of what is now. Believe us or not, what you are seeing here is an actual Centrifuge. No automatic timer, no speed set by a push of a button, nothing. With this technology, it was just you, your four sample holders and your hand, winding that nob until you get your desired results.
