Consultations & EmergenciesAbout this service
A general consultation, or first visit, in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic is your initial appointment with one of our doctors to discuss a new health concern and plan the care that follows. Whether you are new to the practice or bringing up an issue for the first time, this visit gives your doctor the chance to take a full history, examine you, and understand your overall health picture. From there, your doctor can recommend tests, treatment, or a referral if needed.
It is also a good opportunity to establish an ongoing relationship with a doctor who knows your background. Book your first consultation with Eastgate Clinic to get started.
