Today, the Resident Doctors Association of Zambia (RDAZ), in partnership with Teledoctor Zambia, formally launched an important initiative aimed at improving the working conditions and wellbeing of junior doctors across the country.

The initiative was launched during a Teledoctor-hosted television interview yesterday at 17:00hrs on Diamond TV, hosted by Prof. Wilbroad Mutale, CEO of Teledoctor Zambia, featuring Dr. Paul Chibwe, President of RDAZ, who was accompanied by Dr. Elipilious Chibwaya, RDAZ Public Health EXCO.

The initiative follows a series of engagements with various stakeholders to raise awareness about the conditions of doctors’ on-call facilities and explore opportunities to mobilise partnerships and resources towards improving these spaces.

For many junior doctors, being on call means spending long hours, overnight shifts, weekends and public holidays in the hospital, responding to emergencies and providing care to patients. Yet, in some facilities, the basic conditions required for doctors to rest between emergencies remain inadequate.

This is not simply about making doctors comfortable. It is about creating working conditions that support doctor wellbeing, timely emergency response and patient safety.

Through this initiative, RDAZ and Teledoctor Zambia will engage various stakeholders, including but not limited to the private sector, development partners, healthcare organisations, corporate Zambia and members of the public to support the improvement and equipping of doctors’ call rooms across the country.

The proposed “Sponsor a Doctor Call Room” initiative will provide opportunities for partners and individuals to support practical improvements, including beds and mattresses, lockers, basic appliances, furniture, minor refurbishment, connectivity and other essential facilities.

As we move forward, stakeholder engagements will be convened to raise awareness, build partnerships and mobilise resources towards this initiative.

We invite the RDAZ membership, our partners and the Zambian public to join us in this effort.

Because when we ask doctors to be there for patients at 2 AM, we must also ensure that they have a safe and decent place to rest between emergencies.

Better Working Conditions. Better Doctor Wellbeing. Better Patient Care.

For God and Country ✊🏾
