Nurse Practitioner Services
What is a Nurse Practitioner?
Nurse Practitioners are independent health professionals with advanced education (usually 8 years of University education ). Nurse Practitioners have the competence to provide comprehensive health assessment, to diagnose and to treat acute and chronic illness. Nurse Practitioners can order and interpret diagnostic tests, labs, prescribe medications and refer to Specialists.
