GHANAIAN DELEGATION TOURS MAINA SOKO MEDICAL CENTRE

A delegation from the Ghana National College of Defence Studies, led by the Commandant GNCDS, Brigadier General Fredrick Dankyi NTIRI, toured Maina Soko Medical Centre this past week as part of their benchmarking visit to Zambia.

The team was warmly received by the Commandant Maina Soko Medical Centre, Brigadier General Dr Levy MUCHEMWA, who welcomed the delegation and reaffirmed the importance of regional collaboration in military medical services.

The Centre's integrated approach to healthcare, emphasis on professionalism, and focus on both military readiness and public health were highlighted during the tour.

Brig Gen NTIRI commended the Centre for its high standards, innovation, and role in supporting both Defence and civilian communities. The visit reinforced the shared commitment among African defence institutions to strengthen health systems and promote knowledge exchange.

𝐒𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐃 𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋𝐒: 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥

Excellence is never accidental, behind every synchronized step is discipline, determination, and countless hours of rehearsal.

Drill is more than movement, it’s a mindset that teaches us to lead, to follow, and to move as one.

Because when we march together, we show the strength of a united nation. 🇿🇲

𝑨 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. 𝑨 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆.

The President of the Republic of Zambia and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Force, Mr Hakainde HICHILEMA, declared a national mourning period following the passing of His Excellency Dr Edgar Chagwa LUNGU, Zambia’s 6ᵗʰ Republican President and former Commander-in-Chief.

In his address last evening, the President of Republic of Zambia and our Commander-in-Chief reminded us all to:

“𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅. 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒔. 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒁𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒔.”

To this effect, this year's Defence Force Day is being observed without the usual commemorative activities.

Observed every 13ᵗʰ June, Defence Force Day commemorates the unification of command of the Zambia Army, Zambia Air Force, and Zambia National Service in 1976.

This noble responsibility was first entrusted to General Kingsley CHINKULI, who became the inaugural Commander of the unified Zambia Defence Force.

The Minister of Defence, Hon. Ambrose LUFUMA, urged the nation to observe the mourning period with dignity and peace, honouring the late president’s contributions to Zambia’s development.

Maina Soko Medical Centre, as a multi-user facility, embodies the Zambia Defence Force’s values of discipline, resilience, loyalty, 𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑡 𝑑𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑝𝑠, and unity.

Whether in wards, operating theatres, or outreach efforts, our service stands as a quiet salute to those in uniform. Though there are no ceremonies this year, we stand in quiet tribute.

𝑻𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆. 𝑻𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒅.
𝑻𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆.
