@MulagoReferral major clinic days.

During the clinic day we have scheduled, often specialized, outpatient session where consultants, specialists, or medical officers see patients for specific conditions on a non-emergency basis.

Unlike the 24/7 general Outpatient Department (OPD), these clinic days are structured to manage chronic diseases, follow up on discharged patients, or referrals
