Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ) says the council will
not register any student who obtains a degree, diploma and
certificates in institutions that are not recognized or
registered by the council.
Council registrar Dr. Aaron Mujajati says the professional
licensure examinations are now mandatory for all students
pursuing careers in the health profession at all training
institutions offering recognized and approved training
programmes by health professions council of zambia.
Dr. Mujajati explains that the aim of introducing licensure
examinations is to ensure provision of quality health
services by registering only competent health practitioners
to practice.
In 2016 the health professions council of Zambia
introduced licensure examinations for all health
practitioners from both public and private universities and
colleges.
Speaking during a quarterly media briefing in lusaka dr.
Mujajati says about 1, 393 sat for the exams and 805
passed the exams representing an overall pass rate of 67
percent.
Dr. Mujajati has stressed that only those candidates who
have passed the licensure examinations will be registered
and issued with practicing certificate.
He adds that the rest will be given time to re-sit the
examinations scheduled for september this year.
