Vice President Inonge Wina is in India for a scheduled medical review.

Government sources revealed that Mrs Wina left Zambia on Friday and will remain in India for unspecified period of time.

She was last in India in February this year after she was evacuated to that country from South Africa after undergoing treatment for a heart complication.

  1. Malabishi! What is happening to our country why can’t we have state of their art hospitals in Zambia? And what happens to my poor mum who can’t afford to fly to India?

    • This is the reason why those in power will never build good hospitals in Zambia.

      How much is it costing the country to send this old hen to India? She has to travel with her own security detail, and a blotted staff.

      Can these thieves not see that the country is bleeding?

      Is this the meaning of austerity?

      Can she not find herbal cures in that gazetted forest where she now owns a big piece of land?

    • Lungu ni susu, how can you be lobbying those in diaspora to come and invest back home when you’ve a question mark about your medical facilities. You just want us to come home, increase the number of taxpayers so that you can keep on spending very irrelevant.

    • There goes our tax payers money…Inonge has just become a liability to our country….no wonder African countries are soo poor….wrong priorities and wasting money on old hen whilst the majority of Zambians are starving

    • Total nonsense. Children are dying in numbers and this PF Govt simply doesn’t care. Solution is improve health care for Zambians in Zambia.

    • This is what we keep talking about… that lazy, clueless, corrupt Lungu and his minions have no desire whatsoever to improve the medical facilities in the country, as they don’t use them. They quickly and conveniently fly out to South Africa, India or some other country, while poor Zambians are dying in hospitals for lack of proper hospital equipment and medication. All this money being wasted on this unproductive old lady could’ve been used to improve the conditions of our hospitals. This is unacceptable. We need new leadership with a vision in Zambia. Vote these clowns out in 2021. Just wasting our meager resources. Don’t waste your vote on corrupt clueless Lungu again. What a shame.

    • Hope Inonge pulls through and I wish her all the best. But wht does she think will be happening to her whn she is no longer vice-president in times of illness if the hospitals in Zambia aren’t improved?

    • Hazaluza Hagain is in South Africa consulting with MPs there how to remove the Zambian Government from power by force. He is also consulting how to do Namwala II.

  2. Please save our money by retiring her on medical grounds……………….Many civil servants are being retired for no good reasons why not her….Or better let her her medical reviews from UTH like any other Zambian!!!!!!

    You do not build good hospitals when you are sick you run out of Africa and sometime die there and you want us to spend money to bring back the cargo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus help us……………

  3. How this party loves putting it’s own foot in it’s mouth! Wasn’t Lungu just being praised on the strides he has done in improving medical services in Zambia?!? Why is this old lady being taken to India for a medical check-up?!? An insult to our own doctors and facilities – ah, these facilities do not exist! These guys were busy giving themselves land wherever they could. You cannot f0ol all of the people all of the time….

    • “Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya says the successes in the health sector scored by the Patriotic Front government are a milestone and legacy never seen under any other Presidency.

      Dr. Chilufya says the PF government has built close to 5-hundred primary healthcare infrastructure and is in the process of building six tertiary hospitals while in excess of 45 new district hospitals are at different levels of completion”

      Why India????

  4. AMEND THE CONSTITUTION ON THIS SUBJECT THAT ALL CIVIL SERVANTS WILL GO THE UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL WITHOUT EXCEPTION AND ADD THE CLUASE OF SAYING THERE WILL BE NO HIGH COSTS IN ANY PUBLIC HOSPITAL THAT’S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SHOW US YOU ARE A PRO POOR PARTY THAT WAY YOUR DOCTORS WILL NOT STEAL ALL THE MEDS AND TAKE TO THE PRIVATE CLINICS AND PHARMACY THEY RUN AS A SIDE HUSTLE. YOU CAN’T SAY THE GOAL IS FOR ZAMBIA TO BE A MEDICAL HUB FOR THE SOUTHERN REGION OF AFRICA THEN RUN TO INDIA WHEN YOU GET SICK. INDIA IS A MEDICAL HUB NOT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALS IN INDIA BUT BECAUSE THE HOSPITALS ARE RUN ON INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. THE ONLY REASON YOU GO TO INDIA FOR TREATMENT IS BECAUSE THE NURSES ARE PAID SO THEY ARE NOT RUDE AND THE DOCTORS ARE PAID WELL AND NOT…

  5. Calculate the cost from the time she has been going abroad.It can
    Feed how many people with free
    Mealiemeal .Retire her and are we
    Unable to put another capable lady
    In her place?

  6. TAKE THE HEALTHY MINISTER TO TASK OVER INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS IN HOSPITALS NOT FOR A JOG EVERY OTHER WEEK WHILE HOSPITALS ARE IN EFFICIENT. WHEN THE POOR VISIT HOSPITALS THEY ARE MET BY RUDE NURSES AND ABSENTEE DOCTORS AND NO MEDS. BUT YOU WOULDN’T KNOW BECAUSE U ARE IN HIGH COST INDIA OR SOUTH AFRICA. THEN YOU WANT TO TELL THE POOR TO SUPPORT DEPUTY MINISTERS. IS CLIMATE CHANGE ALSO AFFECTING HOSPITALS???

  7. Mama Inonge Wina is a good woman serving in a wrong government. The likes of Inonge Wina are best suited to serve under the likes of the Mwanawasa administration

  8. So now it’s has become popular culture in Zambia that when you are in high government position when you get sick, you have to go abroad for medicals.
    You know it’s confusing cause this is the same staff ba sata preached against when he was in the opposition and consequently made him popular among the poor Zambians .. guess we can’t now tell from the pigs to the humans, the humans to the pigs.

  9. So she’s gone for a “scheduled” medical check but will be in India for an “unspecified” amount of time.
    Why are we lying, PF? A scheduled medical check up would be specific, a review and would be timed.

    Everything is opaque. But unfortunately, as Zambians, we have to acknowledge that we are one with them. Do you think the people of, let’s say, Singapore would vote in such a corrupt squad into government, and the squad would survive numerous scandals? Nah. Until the Zambian citizen is morally upright, the leadership will always be bad. The citizen is the source of leadership. The PF reflects our values. Sure a few of us are way better than the PF, but the number is too small to make a difference. The problem is us, our culture, our values. Improving that, will reflect in the…

  10. The race is on. Medical Cargo Returns. Maybe they return as passengers maybe they don’t. At that age she is in maintenance mode. This is why we need very good medical facilities within the country. We already have very good medical specialists; they just lack the equipment and facilities to do even better than where these evacuations are directed.

    • For sure instead of investing in a Private Presidential Jet for one person only, the funds could have been used on equipment and facilities (medicin etc) in our local healthy care. Instead ni ku gula ndeke

  11. Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya says the successes in the health sector scored by the Patriotic Front government are a milestone and legacy never seen under any other Presidency.
    Dr. Chilufya said countries would be safer places to live in when they invest in health systems that assure health for all, reduce inequalities and also protect citizens from public health emergencies and diseases.
    He told delegates at the meeting that in Zambia, President EDGAR LUNGU is providing transformational leadership by rebuilding health systems in pursuit of Universal Health Coverage anchored on primary health care which is community integrated.

    Wishful thinking

  12. When will Zambians wake up to the reality of these abuses? How have we been so blinded that for many Zambians, they even applaud this type of nonsense? What is good for the goose is good for the gander. May all who have pilfered from government coffers and continue to, never have peace, twanaka
