It was on and off until Sunday, 15 February. On Monday, 16 February, the electricity went off completely until today (Wednesday, 18 February),\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officer added that many people who arrived for appointments were turned away, while priority was given to those collecting chronic medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resident Bukelwa Mange from Lusaka said she was turned away at the entrance due to the power outage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to make an appointment.
