Consultations & Emergencies
About this service
A follow-up consultation is a shorter return visit to Eastgate Clinic in Windhoek to check progress on a problem your doctor has already assessed. Rather than starting from scratch, this appointment lets your doctor review how treatment is working, adjust medication if needed, and check that you are recovering as expected. It is typically quicker than a first consultation because your history and prior findings are already on file.
Follow-up visits happen in our rooms and are booked whenever your doctor asks to see you again, or whenever you feel a check-in is needed. They are an important part of making sure a health issue is properly resolved, not just treated once.

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to a follow-up consultation?
Bring your medication, any test results or specialist letters received since your last visit, and a note of what has changed. Having these to hand lets your doctor judge progress quickly.
Can I see the same doctor for my follow-up visit?
Yes, follow-ups are booked with the doctor who first assessed you wherever possible, so your notes and earlier findings are already familiar to them.
How soon after my first visit should I book a follow-up?
Your doctor will usually suggest a timeframe at the end of your first visit. Book sooner if your symptoms worsen or a new medication causes side effects.
