• In the recent past, Zambia has seen a significant
  influx of well-trained and qualified doctors.
  There was also a tremendous influx in the number
  of universities offering MBChB programs. The
  doctor-patient ratio in Zambia is drastically
  reduced compared to the last decade. This is
  proving to be a great bane for the entire
  country.
• However, there are limitations in the number of
  universities that offer a high-quality MBChB
  curriculum. Several universities from countries
  such as China, Russia, Ukraine, and India are
  offering the MBChB curriculum in Zambia.
• As with any developing nation, the medical
  profession is considered the pinnacle. Obtaining
  a bachelors degree in medicine opens a world of
  opportunities both in Zambia and abroad.
• The starting salary for doctors with a bachelors
  degree in medicine can be anywhere between 3500
  and 5000. However, this is specific to hospitals
  that are run by the state and not private
  clinics. Salaries may differ depending on several
  factors such as experience, qualification, city,
  and so on. Upon completion of MBChB in Zambia,
  one can work as a private consultant as well.

  professionals so that high-quality, sustainable
  health services are rendered to the public.
