Dr Christopher Zishiri
xx xx, xxxx - xx xx, xxxx
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.

Just learning with shock this morning of the passing of Chris, a dear friend and brother. We first met at our induction day for the Public Health Specialist Training Programme in the West Midlands, United Kingdom in 2005 and connected instantly, studied for our professional exams and journeyed together through the 5-year training programme. Chris was one of the warmest, kindest people I ever knew, a dedicated husband, father & public health professional. He will always be remembered. My heartfelt sympathies to Ellen & all the family.
