AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Men’s Health & Mental Wellness: Namibia’s Ministry of Health and Social Services marked Men’s Health Awareness Month with a mental health session for male staff, urging open conversations and help-seeking without stigma. Child Protection & Health Basics: On the Day of the African Child, Namibia’s leaders renewed calls to protect children from abuse and to expand universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene—key foundations for health and learning. Gambling as a Public Health Issue: A responsible gambling summit in Windhoek framed gambling addiction as a mental wellness and prevention challenge, with plans for a dedicated task force and stronger consumer protection. Health System Pressure: Nurses at Gobabis State Hospital report months-long delays in overtime payments, leaving staff financially strained while staffing shortages force extra shifts. Pharma Integrity Checks: President Nandi-Ndaitwah ordered NCIS background checks on about 360 health ministry officials tied to allegations of fraud and corruption in pharmaceutical services and tender processes. Period Poverty Fight: A new campaign donated sanitary pads and set up menstrual health corners to tackle stigma and period poverty. Rare Disease Care Gap: A Walvis Bay family is appealing for support for ongoing psychiatric treatment for a child after childhood cancer, citing limited local mental health facilities. Environmental Health & Disease Prevention: Environmental health practitioners petitioned government to review grading structures, arguing their roles in food safety, water quality, sanitation, vector control and outbreak investigations are not properly reflected. Wellness in the Community: The NamFitness Expo and Conference (3–4 July) will bring together fitness, nutrition and mental health groups to promote active living and disease prevention.
