AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Mental Health: New district-level and larger hospitals will have to include dedicated mental health units, as Namibia plans at least five units nationwide by 2037. The ministry recorded 91,544 mental health cases and 11,489 admissions in 2024/25; WHO says reforms need reliable funding for community care, specialists and essential medicines. Animal Health: Foot-and-mouth disease has been confirmed in Zambezi, where all 12 cattle samples from Kalala Island tested positive. Emergency vaccination and surveillance are under way, with animal movements and raw products restricted across the region. Cancer Screening: Ongwediva’s new imaging centre plans free breast cancer screening through state hospitals during October, using northern Namibia’s only mammography unit.**
