The Chief Director in the Ministry of Health and Child Care of Zimbabwe, Dr. Maxwell Hove, participated in the presentation, indicating the importance of this Czech initiative for Zimbabwe's health sector.

Collaborative Efforts in Zambia

In Zambia, the Czech delegates met with the Honourable Sylvia Masebo, Minister of Health, and other ministry officials, discussing potential collaborations.
