The Clinical Officers Association of Zambia (COAZ) wishes to inform all its members and the general public that graduates of the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) program from Greenhope University, a Somalian university purportedly operating in Kasama at Kasama General Hospital, shall not be registered nor recognized by the Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ) to practice within the Republic of Zambia.

The Association has received official communication from the Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ) stating that the said institution does not meet the legal and regulatory requirements for the training of health professionals in Zambia. The grounds cited include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The institution is not registered nor accredited by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) in accordance with the provisions of the Higher Education Act.

In light of the foregoing, all members of the Clinical Officers Association of Zambia and the general public are hereby strongly advised to refrain from enrolling in, applying to, or associating with the said institution for purposes of medical training.

Engaging with such an unregistered and unrecognized institution may result in financial loss, professional disadvantage, and the inability to obtain registration or practice in Zambia.
