𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓: 𝐃𝐑. 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐈 — 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍’𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍, 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏

For Dr. Chibesa Sekeleti, women’s healthcare goes beyond diagnosing and treating medical conditions. It is about listening to women, understanding their experiences and ensuring they have the knowledge, support and specialized care they need to thrive. Driven by this belief, she has built a career centred on women’s health, holistic care and improving how healthcare is delivered.

Dr. Sekeleti graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Medicine from the Santa Clara School of Medicine in Cuba in 2012. She began her medical career with an internship at Ndola Central Hospital, followed by a rural posting at Lumwana District Hospital. These early experiences provided her with valuable clinical exposure and strengthened her understanding of healthcare delivery in different settings.

Determined to deepen her expertise, she pursued a Master’s degree in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Wuhan, China. Upon returning to Zambia, she joined Marybegg Health Services, where she continues to serve as a General Practitioner and Obstetrician-Gynaecologist.

However, her vision for women’s health extended beyond clinical practice. Driven by a passion for specialized reproductive healthcare, Dr. Sekeleti co-founded the second private specialist women’s reproductive health facility in Zambia, located in Solwezi and opened in 2023. She currently serves as its Managing Director, helping advance access to specialized care for women.

Her journey has not been without challenges. As a woman in medicine, she has experienced the realities of being overlooked and having to work harder to earn professional recognition and respect. Rather than allowing these experiences to discourage her, she has used them as motivation to keep pushing forward and expanding her contribution to healthcare.

Looking ahead, Dr. Sekeleti hopes to contribute to improvements in the broader health system, with a particular interest in understanding how healthcare is delivered and how it can be made more responsive to people's needs. For her, meaningful progress requires looking beyond clinical outcomes to examine the systems, experiences and circumstances that shape a person's health.

At the heart of her work is a commitment to empowering women. She believes that women’s sexual and reproductive health remains an area that deserves greater understanding, awareness and attention. Her goal is not only to help women achieve better health outcomes but also to equip them with the information they need to make informed decisions about their bodies and their lives.

Her philosophy reflects a broader understanding of medicine: treating an illness is only part of the responsibility. Healthcare professionals must also recognize the person behind the condition, taking into account their emotional, social and individual needs. This holistic approach is particularly important in women's sexual and reproductive health, where compassionate care, trust and understanding can make a lasting difference.

Through her clinical practice, leadership and advocacy for women's health, Dr. Chibesa Sekeleti continues to champion a model of healthcare that places women at the centre of their care and recognizes the importance of both specialized treatment and informed decision-making.

The Zambia Medical Association (ZMA) recognizes Dr. Chibesa Sekeleti for her dedication to advancing women's health, challenging barriers in medicine and contributing to a more compassionate and holistic approach to healthcare.

Cholera thrives where poor sanitation, unsafe water, and poor hygiene create conditions for its spread. Anyone exposed to contaminated food or water can become infected.

The real problem is the neglect of basic hygiene and sanitation practices. If you eat carelessly, drink unsafe water, ignore handwashing, and tolerate filthy surroundings, you are inviting cholera into your life. Stop living carelessly and start taking hygiene seriously!

Keeping yourself and your community clean is not optional; it is a responsibility that can save lives. Cholera is preventable, but only if we stop giving it room to thrive.

3 Cs for the Prevention of cholera:

1. Clean and Safe Water
Drink and use water that is boiled for a full rolling minute or treated with chlorine. Store drinking water in a clean, covered container with a small opening or spout, and pour it out rather than dipping cups inside.

2. Clean Hands:
Wash your hands frequently with soap and safe water especially before, during, and after preparing food, before eating, and after using the toilet or changing the babies nappies. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

3. Early Care:
Seek medical attention immediately at the nearest health facility or cholera treatment center at the very first signs of watery diarrhea or vomiting, even before severe dehydration sets in. Administer oral rehydration solution (ORS) or a clean sugar-salt solution right away while heading to care

Dr. Allan Musonda is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist whose career spans over two decades of dedicated service in Zambia’s healthcare sector, marked by clinical excellence, healthcare leadership and a passion for medical education.

Since beginning his career in 2001 as a Junior Resident Medical Officer (JRMO) at the then Ndola Central Hospital, where he served as Secretary General of the Resident Doctors Association of Zambia (RDAZ) Ndola Branch, Dr. Musonda has served in various healthcare institutions, including Kasama General Hospital, where he gained valuable rural healthcare experience, served as Acting Executive Director and was among the early doctors in Northern Province trained in Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). His passion for Obstetrics and Gynaecology led him to pursue specialist training at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) under the University of Zambia in 2006.

Throughout his career, Dr. Musonda has contributed to strengthening healthcare delivery at Chawama and Chilenje Level One Hospitals, helping improve maternity services, operationalize the operating theatre at Chawama and mentor young doctors in essential obstetric and gynaecological procedures. At Chilenje, he also contributed to establishing an internship programme that emphasizes hands-on clinical training. His dedication has earned him three Labor Day awards for being the most hardworking doctor, in 2010 and 2012 at UTH, and in 2021 from the Lusaka Provincial Health Office.

Beyond clinical practice and leadership, Dr. Musonda is passionate about medical education. He currently teaches medical students at the University of Zambia and Lusaka Apex Medical University, taking great satisfaction in seeing his students graduate and develop into medical professionals serving in both the public and private sectors.

For Dr. Musonda, one of the greatest rewards of medicine is seeing mothers and their babies achieve positive outcomes and knowing that patients trust him enough to return for his care. Looking ahead, he hopes to dedicate even more time to teaching and mentoring young doctors, ensuring that his knowledge and experience continue to shape the next generation of medical professionals.

The Zambia Medical Association celebrates Dr. Allan Musonda for his dedication to patient care, healthcare development and medical education. His journey reflects the lasting impact that committed medical professionals can have on patients, healthcare institutions and the future of medicine in Zambia.

Before leading the recitation of the oath, a powerful symbol of dedication to the noble profession of medicine, the Zambia Medical Association Secretary General, Dr. Ngwira reminded the inductees that becoming a doctor is an honour that has commanded respect throughout history, but one that must be practiced with ethics at its core.

As these 66 newly inducted doctors embark on their medical journey, we celebrate their achievement and look forward to witnessing their impact in the field of medicine and beyond!
