ABSTRACT
COVID-19 is a global public health crisis wreaking havoc in nearly every corner of the globe and Zambia is not an exception. Amid an already existing disease burden of HIV/AIDS, malaria, malnutrition, and cholera, the resilience of the health care system is yet to be tested especially since it lacks about 40% of its estimated workforce. Meanwhile, the government has already established measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. This includes; reorientation and training for health workers, indefinite closure of all learning institutions, and banning non-essential traveling. With the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out on the ground, the milestones achieved thus far in fighting the pandemic are expected to intensify.
