Last update: 42 minutes ago

Cholera Victory: Zambia has officially declared the end of its cholera outbreak after four straight weeks with no confirmed cases, reporting 1,627 cases and 26 deaths since August 2025, with containment credited to health workers, partners and community action.

TB Vaccine Readiness: CIDRZ says it is working with Zambia’s Ministry of Health to prepare for next-generation TB vaccines, following a WHO regional workshop in Nairobi that highlighted how new vaccines could cut millions of cases and deaths. TB Vaccine Manufacturing Deal: Gates Medical Research Institute and Serum Institute of India have signed an agreement to manufacture the novel TB vaccine candidate M72/AS01E, aiming for scaled supply if approved. HIV Continuity at Borders: Zimbabwe has deployed screening and set up temporary clinics at Beitbridge to provide up to five days of ART for returnees, highlighting the regional need to keep treatment uninterrupted. School Feeding for Nutrition: Zambia’s Ministry of Education and Food4Education formalized a partnership to strengthen school feeding systems, targeting growth from 4.6 million to 5.6 million children by end-2026. Health Tech Governance: Portugal became the first EU member state to join HealthAI’s Global Regulatory Network, with Zambia listed among participating regulators. Public Health Leadership Loss: Zambia mourns former Vice-President and Acting President Guy Scott, with a five-day national mourning period and state funeral announced.
