AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Patient Safety & NCD Care: Namibia’s health workers warn that medication errors linked to misdiagnosis, wrong prescriptions and poor communication can endanger people living with chronic conditions, as the country marks World Patient Safety Day at Windhoek Central Hospital. Tobacco & Nicotine Controls: The Ministry of Health has wrapped up public consultations on proposed Tobacco Products Control Act amendments, which would tighten rules on e-cigarettes, vapes and hookah, raise penalties (up to N$500,000 and possible jail), and expand smoke-free zones to 50 metres around health and education sites. Mental Health & Suicide Prevention: Namibia continues to push for open conversations on suicide and mental health, with police highlighting stigma and “silence” as major barriers to getting help. Gender & Health Equity Context: New WEF Global Gender Gap Index 2026 coverage puts full parity at 120 years away globally, while Namibia is ranked among the top performers—an important backdrop for health and social outcomes. Cuba Healthcare Support: Namibia’s solidarity push for Cuba continues after reports that sanctions are severely straining Cuba’s healthcare system, with large surgical waiting lists and shortages affecting children and elderly patients. Community Wellness: UNAM Katima Mulilo Campus hosts a wellness week focused on mental health, leadership and wellbeing, including sessions for young men.
