Zambian Minister of Health Sylvia Masebo has urged medical training institutions in the country to aim towards producing quality human resources who will contribute to the development of the health sector in the region.  Masebo advised training institutions not to be swayed by the number of students graduating, but rather to target producing quality healthcare workers.

Masebo observed that universities tend to over- enrol resulting in compromising on the quality of training offered to students. The Minister said this when she officially opened the 2nd SHEPIZ annual Scientific Symposium in Lusaka. The minister insisted on the need not to please funders or donors with an increased number of students graduating but rather to priorities producing quality graduates.
