Dr Christopher Zishiri was a gifted public health professional, who devoted his time and energy to the strengthening of tuberculosis (TB) care and prevention in Zimbabwe. He was the founding Executive Director of The Union Zimbabwe Trust (UZT) and, prior to that, was the Country Director of International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) in Zimbabwe. As the Zimbabwe Country Director at The Union, he spearheaded the final years of TB CARE I and the entire multi-million Challenge TB projects. In 2019, Chris was pivotal in establishing The Union Zimbabwe Trust (UZT). From then on Chris did his outmost to develop the new local non-governmental organisation and its portfolio within the TB response fraternity. He leaves a huge gap in TB care and prevention in Zimbabwe and beyond. His vision of sustainable health solutions for Zimbabwean communities, which end TB in the country, will go on. May his soul rest in peace.

First met at med school, worked under Chris in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe, interacted in the public health arena including several years as country directors under Challenge TB. Chris was consistent all the way, caring for others, smart (literally and otherwise), dedicated to duty and perfection. His passing is a huge blow to the public health fraternity, the family and to all who knew him. Most heartfelt condolences to the family! May God grant them the needed strength to carry on...... Go well shamwari, sekuru, vakuru, chiremba...MHSRIP
