THE Lusaka Nursing and Midwifery College at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) has received delivery equipment valued at over K1.2 million from Seed Global Health, aimed at enhancing maternal and newborn midwifery training in the country.

The donated equipment includes delivery beds, trolleys and delivery sets, which are critical items required for safe and efficient maternal care.

Minister of Health Alex Katakwe says the donation signifies collective commitment to strengthening maternal and newborn health services, while investing in the training and development of the next generation of midwives.

“This support comes at a critical time when the government is prioritising improved maternal and neonatal outcomes,” he said.

And Seed Global Health Country Director Chikusela Sikazwe said quality maternal and newborn care requires hands-on practice in well-equipped clinical environments.
