Minister of Health, Dr. Chitalu Chilufya says government is saddened over the death of Professor Allan Haworth who died in Leeds yesterday.
Professor Allan Haworth was a pioneering psychiatrist who worked at Chainama Hills Hospital for many years. He was responsible for establishing the training programme in psychiatry at the University of Zambia School of Medicine. He is known as the Father of Mental health among the medical fraternity in Zambia.
Dr. Chilufya said the death of Prof. Haworth has robbed Zambia’s medical fraternity of a giant medical doctor, an originating researcher, a philanthropist and a teacher.
The Minister stated that Prof. Haworth who passed on yesterday at the hospital in Leeds was a world renowned Psychiatrist and an internationally acclaimed teacher of Medicine who has died at the age of 89.
“Therefore, on behalf of government and on my own behalf, I wish to express my deepest condolences to the Haworth and Muzizi families. Our prayers and thoughts are with you as you traverse this difficult time. We wish you Gods strength and guidance, “Dr. Chilufya said.
The Minister further disclosed that government will be at hands to support the funeral proceedings.
Why write about the Minister like he’s the one who died? We want to know more about Prof. Hawoth, who he was and what he did, and why as Zambians the Minister is sending condolences on our behalf.

This is a minister of health visiting a ward dressed in a suit. Do these people have basic knowledge of infection control measures? No jackets, neck ties and roll up your sleeves and wash your hands, before and after ward visits please! Infection prevention is REAL!

Why should such a giant leave us and not the nonsensical minister of internal affairs Kampyongolisis?
He taught me too! Too sad! Hazaluza wina I think!
@8 Victor,
You mean he taught you that “waka sondokide”? The stupidity some goons are raving off here sometimes defy all manner of gutlessness. I mean, is it something in these bakoswe mumpoto they are chewing and swallowing everyday? Must be!
He also did a research on dagga smoking and its effects. He was also KK’s psychiatrist
I didn’t know he was still alive. If doctors can die who are we mere mortals not to die. Ah, the enervitability of death!
