TEXILA KNOWLEDGE TALK SERIES: DISCUSSIONS ON MALARIA IN ZAMBIA.

Theme for April: Malaria

Awareness plays an important role in disease control. Lack of adequate knowledge of a disease can lead to low detection rates, interruption in treatment, discrimination and stigma. As a medical college, at Texila American University, Zambia (TAU) we believe that initiatives have to be taken to spread awareness. Texila Knowledge Talk Series is such an initiative - to raise awareness about common diseases (prevention and control) and challenges in healthcare among different stakeholders and common people.

April 25th is celebrated as World Malaria Day. To commemorate the day, on April 26th, at TAU we organized the second event of Texila Knowledge Talk Series, and were privileged to have Dr. Robert Zulu, Consultant Surgeon, Head Clinical Services at University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, to share his knowledge and expertise on Malaria. He addressed a full-house on the state of Malaria in Zambia and around the world and what can be done to eradicate it.

A Full House at Texila Knowledge Talk Series – April 26th

Why is there a need for a Talk Series on malaria? 

A talk series can play an important part in developing community support to bring about changes in critical issues. The fight against Malaria in Zambia is real, and a talk-series/discussion can draw attention to issues that are relevant to the lives of community members and malaria is one such issue.

PHYSICIAN’S PLEDGE: A SNAPSHOT OF THE REVISED DECLARATION OF GENEVA.

It’s the 21st century — and modern medical science and technology has advanced rapidly to make a poignant difference to contemporary life. With time, the Hippocratic Oath conceptualized 2,500 years ago has also undergone remarkable changes to make it more suitable and adaptable to the 21st century.

An update to the Hippocratic Oath for physicians was approved last year by the World Medical Association (WMA). It was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. At the WMA’s Annual General Assembly in Chicago, physicians approved the revisions made to the Declaration of Geneva which was adopted by the Association in 1948.

What is the Hippocratic Oath?

The Hippocratic oath is an ethical code attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. It was adopted as a guide to conduct by medical the fraternity. It is also used by many medical schools during their graduation ceremonies.
