The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia (PSZ) warmly congratulates Dr. Martin Kampamba on his successful conferment of the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree during the recently held 55th Graduation Ceremony of University of Zambia.

This achievement represents not only a personal academic milestone, but also a moment of pride for the pharmacy profession and the wider health sector in Zambia. Dr. Kampamba has distinguished himself as an academician, researcher, mentor and pharmacy professional whose contribution to pharmaceutical education, research and public health continues to inspire many within and beyond the profession.

As a Society, we recognize the growing importance of pharmacist-led research and advanced academic scholarship in shaping resilient health systems, strengthening evidence-based practice, advancing rational medicine use, and contributing to national and global health priorities.

Dr. Kampamba’s accomplishment stands as a powerful reminder that the pharmacy profession is not only central to medicines and patient care, but also to scientific innovation, research, policy development and the advancement of knowledge.

We celebrate this well-deserved achievement and commend him for his dedication, perseverance and commitment to academic excellence. We are confident that this milestone will continue to inspire students, researchers, practitioners and future generations of pharmacists across the country.

On behalf of the Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Martin Kampamba and wish him continued success in his academic, professional and research endeavors.

PSZ COMMENDS APPOINTMENT OF COMPETENT LEADERSHIP AT ZAMMSA

The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia (PSZ) extends its sincere congratulations to
Mr. Liyoka Liyoka on his appointment as Acting Director General of the Zambia
Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency (ZAMMSA).

We commend Government for entrusting the leadership of such a strategic national
institution to a competent and experienced professional at a time when
strengthening healthcare systems and improving access to essential medicines
remain national priorities.

The leadership of ZAMMSA carries enormous responsibility in safeguarding the
integrity, efficiency, and responsiveness of the national medical supply chain.

administrative capacity, professionalism, accountability, and commitment to public
service in order to effectively support the delivery of quality healthcare services to
the Zambian people.

PSZ remains confident that under Mr. Liyoka’s stewardship, the Agency will continue
contributing meaningfully to national health outcomes and the broader vision of
resilient and sustainable healthcare systems.

The Society wishes him success as he assumes this important responsibility and
reaffirms its readiness to support collaborative efforts aimed at advancing
healthcare delivery in Zambia.

HONOURING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF PHARMACIST DAVID LUNGU

Today, the Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia joined the family, friends, colleagues, and the wider profession in paying our final respects to Pharmacist David Lungu as he was laid to rest. The burial was marked by deep sorrow, reflection, and heartfelt remembrance of a man whose life, humility, and service touched many within and beyond the pharmacy profession.

The farewell followed an emotional candlelight service held yesterday evening, where members of the profession, family, friends, and loved ones gathered in unity and solemn reflection to honour his memory. As candles illuminated the night, so too did the many heartfelt tributes shared in remembrance of a pharmacist remembered not only for his professionalism, but also for his kindness, mentorship, wisdom, and compassion.

Messages written during the funeral and burial described Mr. Lungu as “a true mentor and counsellor,” “an inspiration to the younger generation of pharmacists,” and “a humble man with a kind heart.” Many remembered his willingness to teach, guide, encourage, and uplift others, while others reflected on the joy and positive influence he brought into their lives and workplaces.

One tribute read:
“We shall always remember David’s kindness and eagerness to teach and elevate others. A true mentor and counsellor.”

Another stated:
“Your valuable legacy shall always live on through us.”

As a profession, we mourn the loss of a gallant pharmacist, colleague, mentor, and friend whose contribution to pharmacy practice and professional development will continue to be remembered for generations to come. Though his passing has left a deep void within the profession, the impact of his life and service will forever remain engraved in the hearts of many.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia extends its deepest condolences to the Lungu family, friends, colleagues, and all members of the profession affected by this loss.

May the soul of Pharmacist David Lungu rest in eternal peace.

*PSZ SHINES AT BMSZ UNITY CUP 2026*

The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia is proud to celebrate an outstanding performance by our teams at the BMSZ Unity Cup 2026 held at NASDEC.

In a thrilling display of skill, determination and teamwork, the PSZ Women’s Team emerged as Champions, securing victory in the finals and bringing the trophy home. Their performance was nothing short of exceptional and reflects the growing strength and confidence of women in pharmacy.

The PSZ Men’s Team also delivered an impressive run, reaching the finals and finishing as Runners-up after a highly competitive tournament. Their journey to the final was marked by discipline, resilience and true sportsmanship.

This achievement goes beyond football. It speaks to unity within the profession, teamwork across disciplines and the active role pharmacy continues to play in promoting health, wellness and collaboration in Zambia.

We congratulate both teams for flying the PSZ flag high and making the profession proud.

PSZ remains committed to excellence on and off the field.

“Let Experts Lead”: PSZ Engages Parliament on Key Health Reform Bills

The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia (PSZ) today appeared before the Parliamentary Committee on Health to present its submissions on several critical Amendment Bills, including ZAMMSA, Medicines and Allied Substances, National Health Research, ZNPHI, and Zambia Flying Doctors.

In its engagement, PSZ emphasized a central message: health institutions must be governed by the right technical expertise. The Society cautioned that reducing the presence of professionals in pharmacy and related fields risks weakening decision-making in areas such as medicines regulation, procurement, and public health response.

PSZ highlighted that medicines are not ordinary commodities and require specialized oversight to ensure safety, quality, and effectiveness. The Society further stressed the need to align ongoing reforms with Zambia’s broader goals of strengthening healthcare systems, advancing research, and supporting local pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Practical recommendations were made to ensure that governance structures across the institutions remain balanced, technically sound, and responsive to the needs of the health sector.

PSZ reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Government and stakeholders in building a stronger, safer, and more effective health system for all Zambians.

Celebrating a Decade of Dedicated Service to Pharmacy and Public Health

The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia proudly extends its heartfelt appreciation to Ms. Floridah Mweene, a committed pharmacist serving at St. Luke's Mission Hospital, for her exemplary contribution to the Ministry of Health and the people of Zambia.

For over ten years, Ms. Mweene has demonstrated unwavering professionalism, integrity, and dedication to patient care. Her work reflects the very essence of the pharmacy profession, ensuring safe, effective, and rational use of medicines, while consistently upholding the highest standards of practice in a resource-constrained environment.

Her commitment has not only strengthened pharmaceutical services at facility level but has also contributed meaningfully to the broader national health system. Through diligence, compassion, and quiet leadership, she has remained a dependable pillar in advancing access to quality healthcare for the communities she serves.

As a Society, we recognize and celebrate her resilience, her service, and her impact. Professionals like Ms. Mweene embody the values we strive to uphold as a profession and serve as an inspiration to both current practitioners and the next generation of pharmacists.

We thank her for her invaluable service and wish her continued success, fulfillment, and growth in her professional journey.
