60 years after Independence we on our own are incapable. It just doesn’t sound correct. What of the mare citizens, what happens to them.
Please the Government of the day should look into this and come up with solutions so that as a country we are very much capable
Exactly my point. This calls for soul searching as a country. It’s unacceptable.
Are you sure ,in Zambia we cant treat fractures? This is an embarrassment to the medical profession.
Medical care in Zambia is truly disheartening for the ordinary Zambian because those in authority it seems have no faith in it.
I CRY FOR MY BELOVED COUNTRY!!!
The police report mentioned the driver injured, then boom he was not injured then a fractured leg one has to go to SA ,has the leg brocken into multi pieces
Yeah the privileged. Meanwhile there is a small child sonewhere at one of our clinics just waiting for treatment for the last 5 days but no one to look at him.
What’s in South Africa which we don’t have and we can’t have our own for ever!?
Since time in memorial… it’s India, South Africa, UK. Surely can’t we manage to replicate since we know what we go for in these countries?
Dr. Muchima time to write your own history. Introduce some of these expertises, equipment and infrastructure am sure we can manage though not exactly but close to exactly at least to save lives of local citizens majority of whom can’t afford to go abroad for specialized treatment.
