The Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ) has suspended the October-November 2024 Professional Licensure Examinations (LEX) following a court ruling issued in September.
The Kitwe High Court granted an injunction in a case brought by Makunko Nsalange and 13 other medical graduates who challenged the HPCZ’s authority to administer the LEX after the transposition of February-March 2024 LEX results.
In a statement issued in Lusaka on Thursday, HPCZ Chief Executive Officer, Faston Goma, announced that, as per the court’s directive, the Council would pause the examination process.
“While we await the resolution of this matter, we wish to inform all stakeholders that the application process for LEX is also on hold. Those who have already applied will be updated on how to handle payments made,” Goma said.
The suspension affects all fresh medical graduates who were set to register to practice in Zambia, requiring them to wait for the final resolution of the case.
“We understand the inconvenience this may cause for candidates and hope for a swift resolution,” Goma added.
He assured that the Council remained committed to the quality assurance processes entrusted to it by the Ministry of Health.
