Consultations & EmergenciesAbout this service
A general consultation is your visit to see the doctor for any new or ongoing health concern, and it is one of the most common reasons patients come to Eastgate Clinic in Windhoek. During the appointment your doctor will listen to your symptoms, examine you, and work out what is going on before recommending tests or treatment. Consultations happen in our rooms, or as a home visit if you are unable to travel in.
Whether it is a cold that will not clear, ongoing pain, or a concern you just want checked, this is the appointment to book. Medical aid and private patients are both welcome, and you can book your visit online in a few minutes.
