Consultations & EmergenciesAbout this service
An after-hours emergency consultation in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic gives you access to urgent medical attention when a problem cannot wait until the next working day. Illness and injury do not keep office hours, and sudden pain, fever, or an accident can happen at any time. Our doctors provide emergency attendance outside normal consulting hours for patients who need to be seen promptly.
This service is intended for genuine urgent concerns rather than routine follow-ups, which can be booked as regular appointments. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, it is best to contact us directly so we can advise you on the best next step.
What to expect
- Contact us as soon as the urgent concern arises
- Your doctor will assess the problem and decide on next steps
- Some cases may need further tests, referral, or hospital care

- Sudden illness or injury outside normal consulting hours
