His Royal Highness (HRH) Chief Chitina of the Swaka and Lala people in Mkushi District, Central Province has expressed gratitude to Government for the delivery of vital health services in his village.

The Zambia Flying Doctor Service (ZFDS) visited Chief Chitina's palace and provided comprehensive medical services at one of the facilities in his Chiefdom.

During the visit, the ZFDS team offered a range of services, including dental care, eye services, laboratory testing, pharmacy services, and general health screenings for local residents.

“I kept hearing about the Zambia Flying Doctor Service and how they serve other rural areas, including Luano District, but I wondered when they would ever visit my people,” Chief Chitina remarked in his speech.

He expressed his happiness and gratitude that the team finally arrived to support the existing healthcare efforts in his community.

During the visit, Chief Chitina received a health screening at his palace, along with necessary medication.

In conclusion, Chief Chitina appealed to the Government and the Zambia Flying Doctor Service to extend their services to surrounding facilities, such as Chitina and Kasokota Rural Health Post, to ensure all residents have access to essential healthcare.
