Speaking during a radio programme on Byta FM, Mukela stated that men should not shy away from the clinic, noting that they will be attended to by male healthcare professionals, which helps ensure privacy and comfort.
On the same programme, Alfred Bwalya, a Clinical Officer General at Shampande Clinic, emphasised the significant benefits of seeking men’s health services.
