About this service
A hospital ward follow-up visit in Windhoek from Eastgate Clinic is a check-in by your doctor while you or a family member are admitted to hospital, keeping continuity of care going beyond our rooms. Being admitted can be a worrying time, and having your own doctor review your progress in the ward helps make sure your treatment plan stays on track and any concerns are addressed promptly.
These visits are arranged around your hospital stay and coordinated with the ward team. If you or a loved one has been admitted and would like a follow-up visit from your Eastgate Clinic doctor, please contact us to arrange this.
