Mr. Kabulubu said this in an interview with ZANIS today in Ndola.

“As frying Doctor Services we are taking up this challenge of trying to see how we can improve on the services in terms of where we need to fly in the country to deliver health services, said Mr Kabulubu.

He said the Zambian Frying Doctor Service was also exploring how it could spread especially now that government was building new health facilities all over the country.

“These facilities are being built, we have to look at how we can deliver health services in the land as well as the area to improve the lives of the people in the country,” he explained.

Mr. Kabulubu added that Flying Doctor Services were moving into a stage where it was looking at procuring proper aircrafts so that they can be delivering intensive health care in all the areas where its services are needed.

And Minister of Health Joseph Kasonde said Frying Doctor Services has been in existence for a long time now and much as taken place since then.

“It is time that modernization of health services takes place and cover the all country with intensive care, this means that we are going to have health posts that will enable deliver health care in the country,” Dr. Kasonde said.

  1. Ati “As frying Doctor Services” yaba…they need to also consider purchasing frying pans to fry their patients. Just like what my good friend would say, “The load is crosed”

  2. When are you going to procure helicopters if you really want to modernise ZFDS, aeroplanes have their limitations especially in rainy season…get proper helicopters tasked for such purposes.
