At the national launch of the FETP-NCD Track, ZCCI's founder reaffirmed a commitment to bridging research, policy and community action on non-communicable diseases.
ZCCI founder Dr. Cosmas Zyaambo was among the key stakeholders at the landmark launch of the FETP-NCD Track by the Zambia National Public Health Institute (ZNPHI). The engagement underscored the growing national importance of tackling non-communicable diseases (NCDs) — an area at the heart of ZCCI's health work.
As a public health practitioner focused on NCDs and their risk factors, Dr. Zyaambo serves as a Principal Investigator on the US–Zambia NCD Risk Factors Project, an NIH-funded initiative under the University of Zambia School of Public Health. That work sits at the intersection of research, policy, and implementation.
Platforms like this are a reminder that expertise must translate into real impact for communities. ZCCI remains committed to strengthening health systems while making sure they respond to the actual needs of the people they serve — work rooted in knowledge, driven by service, and focused on improving lives.
