Minor Hotels Zambia, in partnership with Medland Hospital, recently opened a Q-Medland Clinic at Avani Victoria Falls Resort’s activity centre.

“The partnership aims to create a safe and healthy environment for travellers, local communities and team members by offering the best health care as part of an iconic tourism and hospitality offering in Livingstone,” Minor Hotels said in a statement.

The clinic will cater for guests at The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara and Avani Victoria Falls Resort to avoid them travelling off the properties for first-class health and medical care.

The clinic will also provide medical care for the hotel’s team members and local communities from the surrounding villages who do not have access to healthcare, which is often far away.

Medland Hospital is Zambia’s first private hospital offering specialised and comprehensive medical services in the heart of Lusaka. Q-Medland Clinic, a subsidiary of the hospital, will extend this specialised offering to service visitors and residents of Livingstone.

The clinic will offer primary health care services only, such as general GP consultations, health checks and screenings, minor surgical treatments, medication administration, nebulisation and oxygen therapy and routine lab testing, amongst other clinic services.

“Minor Hotels is committed to operating in a way that is beneficial to the communities in which we operate, and sustainable for generations of residents and travellers still to come. We are constantly reinforcing our commitment towards environmental, social and cultural conservation and, in the process, meeting our sustainability goals,” said Laurie Burr, Complex General Manager for Avani Victoria Falls Resort and The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara.

The Q-Medland Clinic will operate weekdays from 08h00-17h00 and Saturdays from 08h00-13h00.
