Dear colleagues and friends, We meet again for this year’s 36th Annual Scientific Conference where we share pharmaceutical knowledge and plan the way forward. I cordially welcome you. Please feel free to contribute and participate. Our theme this year is ‘Shifting paradigms towards pharmaceutical research, disease prevention and antimicrobial resistance’. There is no better time than now for this theme. As a profession, we need to do an introspection on how well we have participated in the area of pharmaceutical research, disease prevention and reducing antimicrobial resistance. Are we adding value to the well-being of Zambians out there? We talk everyday of evidence based practices-how much evidence have we generated to add to the body of knowledge? How willing are we to develop and participate in research? When research has been done, does our work get disseminated or published in scientific journals? The pharmacy profession has many career tracks that provide opportunities beyond dispensing prescription drugs at the dispensary. We can conduct extensive research into new drugs and their actions, discovering and testing of new medicines and manufacturing in pharmaceutical companies, and engage in the overseeing of research projects. There is need for new ways to reach out and serve the millions of Zambians out there to attain quality health. The many increasing chronic diseases are preventable and/or manageable. Our role therefore needs to expand beyond just dispensing to active participation in health promotion, chronic disease prevention and monitoring of treatment outcomes as part of the primary healthcare team. We therefore urge government under the Ministry of Health to build strong relationships with community pharmacies and pharmacy personnel, including other strategic stakeholders in disease prevention. The Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia is ready to promote public health and integrate it into our professional practice. It is of paramount importance that we get involved in public health policy decision-making, planning, development, and implementation of public health efforts. The pharmacy profession can improve public health by providing population-based care; developing disease prevention and control programs; providing health education; collaborating with state and local authorities to address local and regional health care needs, including emergency preparedness and response; advocating for sound legislation, regulations, and public policy regarding disease prevention and management; and engaging in public health research. Amongst the significant discoveries ever made in human history, are antibiotics. They have saved countless lives from morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance in the community is of utmost concern. As a profession, is there anything we can do about it or are we also contributing to the spread of the antibiotic resistance? Let us gauge ourselves, our practice and roles to prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance. The answer lies in us to utilize effective strategies within our grasp such as the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship. I challenge members of the profession of Pharmacy to shift paradigms by taking up the leadership role in preventing and reducing antibiotic resistance – it starts with each one of us being a part of the solution and not part of the problem. Finally, hence forth, let us change the way we practice Pharmacy with constant innovation in our practice. Let us change the way we view ourselves and pick up on those vital roles we are expected to play in the lives of Zambians. It calls for hard work and dedication to duty which will eventually change the environment in which we practice. Enjoy the Pharmaceutical Week!! God bless the profession of Pharmacy, God bless us All. David C. Banda Editorial Comment President, Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia Members of the Pharmaceutical fraternity in Zambia and the region, partners and stakeholders of the pharmacy profession, ladies & gentlemen, it is that special time of the year once again when the Pharmacy profession showcases its contribution of healthcare in Zambia. It is the 2017 Annual Pharmaceutical Awareness Week. This is perhaps the most important week in the calendar for pharmaceutical personnel in Zambia as it is a time set aside by the nation to recognise and appreciate the role of pharmacy in the national agenda. Importantly, it is a great opportunity for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technologists to showcase their valuable roles and contributions to healthcare provision both at individual and collective levels. This years’ annual pharmaceutical awareness week culminates into the Scientific Conference and Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia (PSZ). This year’s theme is “Shifting paradigms towards pharmaceutical research, disease prevention and antimicrobial resistance”. The theme for this year’s pharmaceutical week reflects growing recognition of the need for pharmacy as a profession to shift the paradigms of knowledge, skill and attitude towards scientific research, disease prevention and combating antimicrobial resistance. Undoubtedly, over 13 million Zambians face a huge burden of preventable diseases coupled by the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance that risks increasing morbidity and mortality by tenfold. At the base of these and other related health problems is the lack of locally generated scientific evidence that research is supposed to inform regards pharmaceutical practice and policy. Minus locally relevant research evidence generated by the pharmaceutical sectors, the problem of limited or inadequate access to quality pharmaceutical care services will continue to impede the contribution of pharmacy to the national healthcare agenda. The time to shift paradigms is now! Following the success of the previous edition, the Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia brings to you this special edition of your favourite journal – The Pharmaceutical Journal of Zambia (PJZ) which has been published as a key feature of information for this year’s pharmaceutical awareness week. In this issue, you will enjoy fantastic informative articles and scholarly abstracts from distinguished researchers drawn from within the profession and outside the fraternity.On behalf of the Journal Editorial Team and indeed on my own behalf, I would like to sincerely thank all of our contributing authors for their thought-provoking and fascinating articles. It has been a privilege and great pleasure working with you all on this wonderful edition. To our readers, please do enjoy this edition of your favourite journal and we look forward to your feedback. We welcome articles for future editions, so if you would like to contribute or comment, please contact the Editor at: [email protected] or call +260 977 800 311. Thank you for your continued support, Aubrey Chichonyi Kalungia, BPharm, MSc Pharm, MSc GHS, MPharmSZ Chief Editor ‘Knowledge is power only when it is shared’ Contributors

  • CITIZENHEARING REPORT on SDGS INITIATIVE for ZAMBIA. a CITIZEN DRIVEN INITIATIVE to MONITOR Sdgs IMPLEMENTATION in AFRICA
    CSO SDG Campaign/GCAP Zambia CITIZENHEARING REPORT ON SDGS INITIATIVE FOR ZAMBIA. A CITIZEN DRIVEN INITIATIVE TO MONITOR SDGs IMPLEMENTATION IN AFRICA. BY Dennis Nyati 6/29/2018 Project summary: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a continuation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were implemented from 2000 to 2015. The new SDGs are different in that they are broader in their scope of eradicating all forms of poverty by calling for action by all countries, rich and poor, to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. More than 150 countries have pledged to mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities, and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. The project by the African Monitor is about putting citizens at the centre of driving accountable implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The project will use citizen generated data, working with citizens’ groups and youth champions, to engage decision makers to demand delivery and accelerate e policy change. The project will support citizen-driven monitoring for policy change, where citizen-generated data informs SDG implementation, strengthens national and regional SDG review processes, and supports civic action for policy change at the national level. In addition, the project will support a regional civil society advocacy platform on SDGs, where the Africa CSO Working Group engages with and effectively shapes the agenda (policies, plans, and monitoring) for the implementation of the SDGS in Africa and globally.

  • By Managing Authority and District, Zambia 2010
    1 Zambia Service Availability and Readiness Assessment 2010 Summary Report 2010 Foreword Zambia has noted that among the top causes of morbidity and mortality are the following diseases and conditions: HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Other conditions that have recently been added to the causes of morbidity and mortality are non-communicable diseases such as diabetes etc. With international support in the recent past, there has been a huge scale-up in interventions to control these diseases. In order to assess sector readiness to deliver health care to the population, a service availability and readiness assessment was conducted on the availability and provision of health services and programmes. The results of the assessment indicate that there are some gains in the availability of equipment, medicines and commodities and laboratory diagnostics towards the provision of Child Health, Maternal Health, PMTCT, HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria and Diabetes services. It is a clear testimony that a lot has been done in these areas i.e. the infrastructure has been laid and plans to improve these are underway. Consensus on programs has been reached, denial is slowly disappearing, stigma has been exposed and have targeted interventions towards these aspects. Major successes are foreseen in the prevention of infections to newly born children as PMTCT services have been scaled up to all levels of service delivery. The number of clients testing and being enrolled on ART is increasing. The only challenge remains among adults hence the need to ensure a major shift in the populations’ perception of sexuality and sexual relations. Malaria services have also been scaled up with almost all facilities confirming the Malaria cases through either RDTs or Microscopy tests.
