ZiMA Committees:

As part of our efforts to strengthen collaboration and representation within the medical community, the Zimbabwe Medical Association (ZiMA) collaborates with all affiliate associations ensuring that associations second at least two members to our committees.

The secondment aims to -:

  1. Foster greater participation and input from affiliate associations.
  2. Enhance expertise and diversity within ZiMA committees.
  3. Promote collaborative decision-making.
