AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Malaria Update: Namibia recorded 122,000+ confirmed malaria cases and 122 deaths since the start of 2026, with a new indoor residual spraying push launched in Divundu as officials say mosquito control has fallen behind. Public Health & Food Safety: Eastern Cape coastal communities were warned not to collect, eat or feed dead/dying sardines after investigations pointed to pilchard herpesvirus, while canned sardines were said to remain safe. Marine Health Watch: Scientists warned of an unusual rabies outbreak among seals in the Benguela Current ecosystem, urging people to avoid sick or dead seals as researchers assess risks to wildlife, tourism and coastal livelihoods. Child Health Through Water: Junior MPs and the Junior National Council pressed for child-responsive, climate-resilient WASH in schools, arguing unsafe water and unusable toilets harm learning, dignity and health. Digital Trust for Health Services: CRAN launched DigiNam: Trust is Now Digital, with a national root certification authority meant to secure online identity checks and support services including health records. Cancer Support: Bank Windhoek’s Cancer Apple Project handed N$4 million to the Cancer Association of Namibia to back pediatric cancer care under an “Equal Hope” theme. Health Access & Debt Risk: A report highlights how ambulance fees and borrowing against grants can trap older Namibians in long-term debt after medical emergencies. Mental Health Law: The National Council unanimously passed the Mental Health Bill, sending it forward for referral to the President. Cervical Cancer Story: A Namibian woman shared how routine screening led to an early cervical cancer diagnosis despite feeling well, underscoring the value of screening.
