AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

State MRI milestone: Namibia inaugurated its first government-owned MRI at Windhoek Central Hospital, after spending N$49.8m on the machine and upgrades; over the past five years, more than 4,000 patients were referred to private facilities at a cost above N$80m. Cancer focus: Namibia records about 701 new breast cancer cases annually, and a national Breast Clinic Programme is expanding earlier screening and faster biopsy access, with CAN donating 680 biopsy needle units worth N$300,000. Menstrual health: Keetmanshoop marked Global Menstrual Health Day with a clear message: menstruation is natural, no girl should be shamed, and boys should help end teasing and myths. Tobacco tax push: Policymakers met in Windhoek to argue for higher tobacco taxes to cut smoking and fund public services while tackling rising non-communicable diseases. NHP clarifies FIMA: Namibia Health Plan says FIMA won’t bring immediate changes for members, and it’s engaging media to explain the new rules clearly. Labour & safety updates: The Labour Ministry reported 3,487 new jobseekers registered and 706 vacancies, plus workplace inspections and resolved complaints, alongside ongoing safety concerns. GBV tragedy in weekend reports: National Prayer Day weekend saw multiple deaths and attacks, including a shooting in Okongo and other serious incidents reported by police. Livestock resilience: Namibia is considering a foot-and-mouth disease levy to strengthen veterinary services and preparedness, with the rate still under consultation.
