A TEAM of medical and electronic personnel arrived in Zambia yesterday from South Korea to conduct clinic camps in Chongwe and Kafue districts.
Ministry of Health director for technical support Elizabeth Chizema said the teams from Samsung Medical and Electronic Company are also expected to donate an ultra-sound machine to Chongwe Health Centre.
She said the Zambian government appreciates the free services the medical personnel will provide to the citizens.
“We appreciate such gestures because the goal of our government is to take health services closer to the people,” Dr Chizema said.
And Chongwe district officer Charles Msiska said the team from Korea comprises 12 medical personnel and 29 electronic experts, including eight from Samsung South Africa and four from Samsung Zambia.
He said the team from South Korea will work with Zambian nurses and doctors to maintain Zambia’s medical ethical standards.
Dr Msiska said for the five days they will conduct the medical camps the medical workers are expected to screen 500 patients every day in Chanyanya, Nangongwe Chisankane and Rufunsa and others.
He said the medical workers are also expected to provide quality healthcare to the vulnerable in Chongwe and Kafue districts.
And leader of the South Korean delegation, Samsung Electronics Global Market Senior vice-president Shzm Soo-ok said it is a great opportunity for the team members to share their expertise by providing care to the Zambian people.
“It is a great moment to share with others what you know, a great opportunity and chance to also learn from others and together uplift someone,” she said.
Ms Soo-ok said the team is happy to be in Zambia and is ready to deliver medical and electronic expertise to the Zambian people.

Dr. Chizema is whipped by MMD.
She is an intelligent woman but she is a yes boss to RB.
If Chizema was given the post of Minister of health, she would probably bring significant changes to the health system. However, she is a Zombian.
Under whose arrangement is this gesture? The Archbishops wife I presume!Â
I have engaged myself in simple mathematics. If a group of about 50 medical personnel will screen more than a million people in just 5 days that is 500 per day in the four mentioned areas as Dr Msiska says then there must be something drastically amiss with our own health practitioners! Such a number also suggests a nation full if sicklingsÂ
MMD Candidate Japhen Mwakalombe for Chongwe is already working, i like this boy , he is action orientated not Masebo who just thinks of which party to defect to. Vote JM come 2011.
