Comments on: Urgent Appeal for Media Attention: Health Minister’s Inaction in Former Kalulushi MP’s Critical Medical Situation https://www.lusakatimes.com/2024/08/13/urgent-appeal-for-media-attention-health-ministers-inaction-in-former-kalulushi-mps-critical-medical-situation/ Keeping you Informed Wed, 14 Aug 2024 17:40:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: How about a ministry of traditional medicines? https://www.lusakatimes.com/2024/08/13/urgent-appeal-for-media-attention-health-ministers-inaction-in-former-kalulushi-mps-critical-medical-situation/#comment-3546798 Wed, 14 Aug 2024 17:40:07 +0000 https://www.lusakatimes.com/?p=458335#comment-3546798 But why are government hospitals failing to heal this quite common condition? Have they smuggled out the medicines we the people buy? Perhaps we should do away with the ministry of health since it’s doing nothing but misuse our treasury.

It’s the responsibility of the government to provide good health care for all its citizens. Unfortunately, instead of allowing the professionals to decide on such matters, politicians, and by the way, most of whom are mere id iots have taken it upon themselves. They think they are doing us a favour yet it’s their duty to provide such service. NHIMA is bankrupt and has lately been failing to settle claims all because there’s misuse of resources and interference from politicians.

Government hospitals don’t have the best to offer. Secondly most top private hospitals don’t allow nhima. They are open only to competitive insurance holders whom they don’t want to lose if their facilities are inundated by crowds under NHIMA. It costs money to join these health insurances…. they’re able to send you overseas for medical treatment… and that requires real money.

My friend while other people are dying for lack of good health care other several people are being sent over seas for treatment. The system is there in the ministry but only the connected know how it functions. People talk. When they meet overseas for medical treatment you can tell by the way they spend when they are just mere civil servants. The system must be open and not operate secretly. I’m speaking from a strong ground.

Go to your nearest Healthcare provider including private clinics.

However, there are millions of Zambians whose voices will never be heard as they suffer in silence in their homes because of a decrepit health system. What your mother is going through is not unique. She may have been a politician and leader before but it is the legacy these people left that is the cause of where we are now. If she was still an MP she would have been evacuated, leaving the rest to continue suffering. Sadly, it is when they leave power that they see our suffering.

Is government intervention part of her retirement benefits? I thought all citizens were equal and should have own health insurance coverage for even emergencies like this.
