Kamwala South Health post in Lusaka has been temporarily closed for a week after excessive floods following heavy rain.
Diamond media visited the clinic and found it deserted with its buildings still submerged in rainwater.
Part of the health staff is squatting at a barbershop and salon across the road where they are only carrying out measles vaccination for children.
Patients are being turned away and advised to seek medical attention from surrounding communities.
Meanwhile, the area councillor Mainda Simaata says his office has engaged the Zambia National Service (ZNS) and other stakeholders to dig up a drainage to connect to the Bombay main drainage beside the ring road.
Over 3000 households of Kamwala South in Lusaka are submerged by floods and property damage following flush floods.
