Zimbabwe is trying to build up its public health systems. A government team is currently in Zambia checking out their national public health institute. The visit is meant to gather ideas for creating a similar agency in Zimbabwe, called the Public Health Institute of Zimbabwe.
The Permanent Secretary for Health, Aspect Maunganidze, is leading the group. He says the new institute would focus on disease tracking, emergency readiness, and using data for health decisions. Other officials on the trip include the president's health adviser, Agnes Mahomva, and the interim coordinator for the project, Raiva Simbi. Zambia's health minister, Elijah Muchima, welcomed them, noting the benefits of sharing knowledge between Global South nations.
