My name is Njekwa, I come from, kaama, here in Mongu District, about 65 km from here.
I have brought a patient.

I'm very grateful that, for the first time we have a Renal Unit here at Lewanika General Hospital.

In the past we were suffering such that we had to travel to Lusaka for treatment, but now we come here at Lewanika Hospital.

we thank the Government for this development here.
People were suffering greatly, some were just dying for lack of money.

But today, help has come.I encourage others to come to seek help.
