MEDIA ALERT | 21st July 2025

The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia has issued a strong statement following the ZAMMSA audit report and suspension of U.S. medical aid. We unequivocally condemn theft of medicines and call for urgent reforms to protect the integrity of Zambia’s healthcare system.

🔹 Appoint technically qualified pharmaceutical supply chain experts to lead ZAMMSA
🔹 Constitute Boards for ZAMMSA, ZAMRA & HPCZ
🔹 Fully roll out traceability systems (barcoding, eLMIS)
🔹 Recruit pharmacy professionals across all health facilities
🔹 Restructure the Pharmaceutical Unit at MoH for greater oversight

“Without transparent governance and competent leadership, public health suffers. It’s time for bold reforms.” — Keegan Mwape, PSZ President

We remain committed to working with the Ministry of Health and partners to ensure quality, safe, and accessible medicines for every Zambian.
