KADOMA Ward 11 councillor, Cosmos Dhaka, has launched free medical consultation for residents unable to afford healthcare.
Through his company, Cossy Rules Holdings, Dhaka partnered with a medical institution, Balm of Hope, by subsidising consultation fees for those in need.
The free consultations are done every Wednesday.
“I have been trying to establish a medical service arm under Cossy Rules Holdings for a long time.
“I tried all I could, but did not get the right attitude. In searching for a way, I deliberated over the issue with Balm of Hope proprietors, who agreed to a partnership to make the intervention happen,” said Dhaka.
One of the beneficiaries of the programme, Tendayi Makuya, welcomed the councillor’s gesture.
Makuya said her Grade 6 child was diagnosed with hernia and now she consults for free.
“I came here with my child who is not feeling well. I heard about the programme from a fellow resident as I am offline.
“This is helping me a lot, as I can save the little money I have and use it for the child’s other needs,” she said.
