Chitokoloki is a mission station with a large, active busy mission and hospital that serves not only the people living in the immediate catchment area but also many others who travel from all areas of Zambia and even at times neighboring countries, for medical assistance. The medical facility at Chitokoloki comprises a 180-bed hospital, in two different areas, for acute and ambulatory patients. In addition, there is also a section of the mission known as the Colony, which is a leprosarium with 110 dwellings for TB and leprosy patients, long-term accommodation for some ex-leprosy patients and older people who are more welfare cases with no one to care for them. Emphasis has been placed on primary healthcare and the surrounding area within a 40-kilometer radius is also served by 3 satellite clinics of which two of them are on the west bank of the Zambezi River.
