#AskLwanda is aimed at promoting health education and promoting pharmacy as a profession. It allows people easy access to healthcare and information. Instead of going to a pharmacy, people have access to health information on the tip of their fingers. Why Google results based on foreign health laws when you can get relevant information on how things work locally? Save time & money on accessing prescription medicines by consulting a doctor that will email the prescription to a pharmacy of your choice. We also advise people on the correct use of their medical devices.

Private (hospital) Practice

In South Africa there are state (or government) hospitals and then there area private hospitals. Society generally has the opinion that private healthcare is superior to public health. This is largely due to it being exclusive as it costs more and isn't accessible to most of the general public. Only +/-19% of South Africans are on medical aid and these are the people that access private healthcare.

FAQs

I was at the hospital to give birth. The lady next to me had her gynecologist (OBGYN) but he refused to help me. Why?
Why can't my OBGYN also see my baby after birth? I had to pay separately for the pediatrician.
How is it that private hospital doctors can't treat you holistically? You have to see a different doctor for each different ailment.

This podcast will answer these questions and more.

Enjoy!!
