----------chiputa mukwatu

On the 30th of January 2024. I had very good experiences at UTH. Firstly the Telemedicine went quickly under Nhima Secondly my review with Dr Yumbe at clinic 5 was the best Dr experience i have had in zambia. She was patient, informative and friendly. Willing to listen to what i had to say as a patient and ask questions and follow up questions to get a full picture of the problem. She was informative on the illnesses and gave a lot of information.
