**Zambia makes history!** 🎉
On 13 October 2026, Zambia’s first-ever cochlear implant surgeries took place at the University Teaching Hospitals Adult Hospital in Lusaka, marking a major milestone in hearing healthcare.
❤️ **MED-EL is proud to be part of this historic journey**, working alongside a visiting medical team from the Czech Republic and the local healthcare professionals from Zambia to expand access to cochlear implant solutions and bring new possibilities for hearing to more people in Zambia.
