Dr Birkland said the partnership between Seed Global Health and UNZA has enhanced family medicine training and increased the number of practising family physicians to deliver quality primary health care to citizens of all ages.
The family medicine training partnership has grown from two to 20 resident physicians in a space of three years. This rapid growth is critical in accelerating the country's primary care delivery and ensuring it can meet the evolving health demands," he said recently when he handed over the classroom and equipment to the School of Family Medicine at the University Teaching Hospitals (UTH).
He said Seed Global Health will continue partnering with UNZA and the Ministry of Health to train more family physicians that will provide high-quality comprehensive primary care.
And community and family medicine senior lecturer Alice. Kazembe commended Seed Global Health for the gesture.
Dr Kazembe, however, appealed to Seed Global Health to put up a centre for comprehensive reproductive health care and research at UTH.
"One of the things that I want to mention is that we are grappling with training of clinicians to teach
comprehensive reproductive health not only to the community, but to our students as well.
"We would like to appeal to Seed Global Health to consider helping the institution set up a centre for reproductive health and research," she said.
Dr Kazembe said it is cardinal for the school to teach comprehensive reproductive health to its students and the community.
UTH School of Public Health dean Hikabasa Halwiindi said the refurbished infrastructure will go a long way in improving the quality of training for health personnel.
Dr Halwiindi urged Seed Global Health to extend the gesture to other departments in the school,
