The School Health Program "is bringing quality health closer to the people and in particular, learners. The teachers and parents are also benefiting from this initiative because it's reduced the waiting time in the public health facilities and also reduced absenteeism for the pupils as well." - Kuso Kamwambi, Permanent Secretary, Presidential Delivery Unit We are grateful that the Presidential Delivery Unit was able to visit the School Health Program this week and learn about the 500+ schools the program is supporting. Thank you for your ongoing support! 🙏🏿🇿🇲 #zambia #pdu #healthcareforall #education #health #learners #students #teachers #grateful #schoolhealth #healthylearners Ministry of Health of Zambia
