President Edgar Lungu will now be flown out of Zambia for special treatment, his Spokesperson Amos Chanda has announced.
President Lungu fell down on the podium when he was gracing Women’s Day celebrations. He sustained a swollen forehead and has been diagonised to have had a recurrance of Achalasia.
Giving an update at 10:30am Monday morning on the condition of President Lungu who is hospitalised at Maina Soko Military Hospital in Lusaka, Chanda told reporters at State House that the President’s conditions needs a high tech medical procedure abroad.
Chanda could however not indicate which country the president will be flown to but said the Doctors have recomended that he undergoes a high teach procedure abroad.
“Doctors have explored options of correcting the narrowing of the food pipe that led to the illness of the President on Sunday,” Chanda said. “They have recommended that President Lungu undergoes a high-tech medical procedure which is currently unavailable in Zambia and therefore he has been referred for specialised treatment abroad.”
Chanda said the reported malaria infection yesterday has been ruled out by Doctors.
Kays! Iam really disappointed with your crude lunguage, EC Lungu’s illness has nothing to do with hatred for tongas. One thing you should understand is that when time for HH (Tongas) come (God appointed time) no one will say no. Its a pity that you people you dont understand the bible, when Joseph was appointed second in command in Egypt by pharaoh, no one favoured him, but God. What HH – Tongas need is God’s time and favour from Him not tribe, Intelligence,age,money, status,good health, education etc, they may be important and a yardstick to you but not to God. The other thing you should understand is that EC Lungu is human and can fall sick just like any other person, so to say “You people, you were told from the word go that the guy is sick! But because of your hatred for Tongas and your GREEDNESS you never listned”. These is an empty statement without direction, infact there is no connection between EC Lungu’s illness & Tongas ruling. Are you saying if HH – Tongas come into power will not be falling sick? PLEASE UNDERSTAND NATURE
Another expenditure venture by PF lead government if this guy does not step down. I agree we all get sick but reality at times is painful. Edgar is quiet sick and for now what is best for his life, his wife and family is for him to step down and let others rule. Some parasites, people who hehave like a tick, will not comfortable because their life depends on the sitting president. They don’t love Edgar but they want to survival yet they would rather have this sick man go on as President. Mr. Lungu take my advise for once be couragous and dissolve parliament, call for general elections and step down otherwise we will soon host your funeral. You have already gained the tag of Zambia’s sixth President and we will look after you, but if you choose to die remember the suffering you will inflict upon your loved ones that depend on you. Only time will tell who means well to you.
one thing we a over looking is th state house ( 1) has any one thaought of going to pray cleansening it before any in coming tenat moves un it? 2 their must be something killing pipo their 3 left that bad spirte he kns what is their MEN OF GOD WEAR A U CNT YU SEE WAT AM SEING BISHOP MAMBO/LUONDE GO PRAY FOR STATE HOUSE SWEEP IT CLEAN OR WE CALL TB JOSUA? MWALAPWA BAICHE KAWAMWENI NGANDA TE BENJILA MO FWE
Where is Davies chama, chishimba kambwili and harry kalaba? What are they saying over this? Wasting taxepayer’s money for nothing. God please have mercy for zambia.
For once I say, Zambia wake up and open your eyes to look and see issues in their proper perspective. You people, you were told from the word go that the guy is sick! But because of your hatred for Tongas and your GREEDNESS you never listned.I think God is talking to you people in a special way and you are handsomelly harvesting what you sow. This serves you right.
EL elebwela waumfwa….
Do not waste your time , HH never will he rule, not a satanist, never !
Omwana amubwa ebo, wembwauwe
Lets give chance to energetic and educated young leaders who understand politics very well and who can change this country from where is now.Otherwise Zambia is really in mess.
ah, ati ifintu ni Lungu? weak soldier!
Just give him PANADO
He is very lucky, if he fell backwards, we would be at Embassy Park by now singing hallelujah and telling each other…….” He was a gallant son of the soil”
Wembwawe waumfwa！
Ba KC. Just donate one of your kidneys and a pancreas. That will sort the problem nensele shalapwa.
A health dog is far much better than a cursed party like PF. PF is a cursed party thats why every PF president who tries to rule this country will die in the office. EL has two choices to make, to handover power to the real president HH and spare his life or hold on to the presidency and die in the next six months.
Chi observer will your Chintombwa live forever? wembwa we, we mwana wa mbwa
Please government and pf dont hide your presido’s illness or else it will be sata way again. chagwa need to handover power before he becomes a cabbage to reduce costs on his medication and trotting around the globe like sata did.
This not good for the country. Every Zambian must be concerned. let us all of us pray for his quick recovery.

I hope the minister of health is thinking of ways to improve our health service. We are lucky the president condition did not require immediate emergence attention, other wise it could be another story. I hope when the president is back after treatment will try to improve our hospitals so that at least every Zambian can afford basic medical care.
Illness can come on anybody, but certain situations can be avoided. Every Zambian is exposed to medical exams when they are applying for a job. You have to be fit to be given the job. I suggest the same for aspiring president’s. Its better to test them before they become president, so that we vote only for fit people. Much as we know that people can fall ill any time, I think it’s better to avoid such a stranious office when you know you are not well. If people think medical exams are not important then lets make it a rule in Zambia no medical exams for anyone seeking any particular job. Only fair!
While we wish ECL quick recovery and good health, his illness has demonstrated once again how poor our health delivery service is!
Can you imagine how many other ordinary Zambian have a similar condition and how many will be able to receive treatment abroad on account surch treatment being unavailable in the country. Many ordinary citizens will never receive treatment and will go to the grave for lack of it! Very sad indeed!
its shameful how zambians prove to be dull by voting names instead of quality. firstly all knew lungu was sick and those who didnt know were told but couldnt listern what a shameless country. the worste stuation in the country is that illerates are the one in fore front voting for the useless and they are the ones suffering.too bad.
@blackbull you are a big blackFOOL spewing garbage, you are destined to die in hell for your moronic brain
zambian always want to blame others even on advise which is free of charge.we as servants we a living in poverty,cost of living is expenses,yet other pipo can b flown away at a bit of a minute.i wish all zambians where my children i would put sense in them,despite wishing our president a quick recover,let him avoid meetings which go on unplanned and that steal his resting time,for esther to cancell a serious UN conference there should be something seroius behind,zambian open you eyes no triblism on this
Every Zambian President we have had since KK has gone abroad for treatment. Lets add up the costs and we will see that we could have built 50 fully fledged hospitals each with fully fledged specialist wings. Minister of health and the PF as a whole dont you have strategies to halt this Presidential health migration?
Oh, not again please. We went through this shit with Sata and we cant afford another episode with this drunkard. When people say, let us subject aspiring presidential hyopefuls to rigorous medical check ups, ignorant Zambians think the idae is a joke. There now you will have a president who is going to spend the next 16 months globe trotting in search of medical attention instead of running the country. Zambia under PF and its stupid suppoerters is a failed state.
Wembwa we waumfwa！
Ba KC, Don’t insult people please. This is what you voted for. CONTINUITY OF MEDICAL TOURISM whilst the economy is on its knees. Next time the country will be truly bankrupt. You will have nothing to steal and pay for medical tourism.
kc, TEIWE WEKA WEWAISHIBA UKUTUKANA WAUMFWA?
So true to ECL’s words that he would carry on from where Sata left………..including Medical Tourism! Then we shouldn’t vilify the guy for he is just doing that and nobody really wanted to take Lady Sylvia seriously.
ndelolesha Fye. Praying for your recovery mr President
You and all other zambisns currently not enjoying 100% good health are in my prayers. May the greart physician heal all ailments in Jesus name.
Storm you’re the very first I have come across that has extended your prayers to the rest of Zambians in the same current situation as ECLs’. Most have only centered on the presidency and not suffering brothers and sisters yet the president has the benefit of rapid evacuation atop prayers! Thank you Storm
