@duncanchanda But unfortunately, BOZ is as political as intercity was

@musadabwe Why antibiotic for what seems to be a flu?

@DiggersOfNews Chicagos is a business and it can sue for brining it's name in disrepute!

@ssishuwa @boydellbrewer Why is it so expensive? Over K2000?!

[francis Mupeta @mupetaf]

@zewesk True observations Sam. But of all the things you have cited, only mineral prices maybe beyond the control. Other things remain within what most leaders can control.

@LauraMiti Sad that mentorship failed with that one, though his concerns may reflect many people's solidarity is what is needed for your work rather than piety or fear!

[francis Mupeta @mupetaf]

@zewesk It is called the lazy investors choice. But if you check out what has happened in Ghana or elsewhere with failed economies or rising inflation, it's not as safe as it seems

On average, plots in Lusaka costs almost 10times compared to other cities in Zambia.

In Zambia it's madness. I once got a quote for a car spare part for K4000. Got the same spare part in SA at at R450 plus transportation at K300. It doesn't even make sense even if you added duty. So who are they fooling?

People, does it help if your attending doctor knows where you can buy medicines after they prescribe it?
Do you trust them less of more if they can direct you where to buy?
What's your experience or thought abiut this?

[francis Mupeta @mupetaf]

Understand how drs work! and there is room for improvement. We need a round table to improve healthcare!
I hope this helps!

[francis Mupeta @mupetaf]

HOW DO DOCTORS WORK?
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Zambian medical doctors being unavailable for patient care. The accusations have come from various members of the public including and mostly, politicians. A glaring editorial in the News Diggers sealed the damage.

[francis Mupeta @mupetaf]

Not without saying a few may abuse the process. The solution lies in creating a system that correctly accounts for their time. In order for us to have a Healthcare system like the UK, US or SA, we need drs to be drs. Drs teach, research, consult and see pts. Dont demonise them!
