Health Care
All Health Care in Zambia is regulated by the Ministry of Health, of which, statistical data is also collected and reported upon. Today, the country’s life expectancy is at around 43 years of age at birth and infant mortality rates are at 102 out of every 1,000 births, or roughly one in ten. Hospitals are concentrated in urban areas but exist throughout the country as well as multiple University Hospitals which trains students to become fully-qualified doctors. For more rural areas, community health centres run by small councils are responsible for keeping up the standard of health.
Zambia’s biggest issue health-wise is the HIV/AIDS epidemic plaguing the nation, which sees around 13% of all adults in the country carrying the disease. However, it should note that this has halved from the last figure taken over ten years ago and is slowly coming under control.
Transportation
Zambia’s transportation network spans over 2.1 thousand kilometres and includes Zambia Railways, TAZARA Railways, the Maama Colliery Railway, the Mulobezi Railway and the Mulungushi Commuter Line. Additional links to the neighbouring countries of the Congo, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Angola, Botswana, Mozambique and Tanzania are also available. The lines stretch across the country, connecting the cities of Lusaka, Mazabuka, Livingstone, Kabwe, Kapiri Mposhi, Kasama Ndola, Chililabombwe, Chingola, Mufulira, Luanshya, Ndola, Mpika, Kitwe, Mulobezi, Choma and Kafue.
There are over a hundred thousand kilometres of road in Zambia, with around a third of these roads paved. These include roads connecting the large cities that stretch across the entirety of the nation.
Water-wise, Zambia is landlocked meaning that it has no access to sea ports and harbours. However, it has many waterways which add up to become over 2,250 kilometres of navigable rivers between Zambezi, Kafue, Luangwa, Luapula and Chambeshi.
Finally, the country owns eighty-eight airports, eight of which have paved runways. The airports provide travel most frequently to and from Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Johannesburg, London, Paris, Dubai, Addis Ababa and Lilongwe.
