PRESS RELEASE – Zambia Medical Association 2022 Budget Expectations

The Zambia Medical Association is looking forward with great interest to the 2022 National Budget;
the first of the five year term of the newly elected government.

Historically all the budgets have fallen short of the 15% health financing target according to the Abuja
Declaration, to which Zambia is a signatory. None of the previous governments have managed to
achieve that.
