Last update: 11 hours ago

Medicine supply update: Namibia’s Health Ministry says it received and distributed 47 critical medicine line items (27 medicines, 20 clinical supplies) between 4 and 17 June, including multiple anti-cancer drugs, while urgent procurement continues to clear remaining stock-outs. Cancer burden: Namibia recorded 1,900 cancer deaths, with new figures also pointing to rising breast and cervical cancer cases and projections showing a steep increase in future cancer load unless care pathways are strengthened. Road safety and health impact: A road-safety commentary highlights how road deaths and injuries keep climbing despite campaigns, noting 143 deaths and 1,467 injuries in the first four months of 2026 and warning that injuries can push families into long-term hardship. Men’s mental health: The Health Ministry marked Men’s Health Awareness Month with a mental health session for male staff, urging open discussion and help-seeking without stigma. Responsible gambling: A Windhoek summit frames gambling addiction as a public health and mental wellness issue, with plans for a dedicated task force and stronger consumer protection. Youth sport for wellness: The Real Madrid Foundation Football Clinic opened in Oshakati, using football and life-skills to promote teamwork, healthy lifestyles and youth empowerment. GBV prevention: Young Namibians are urged to break the cycle of gender-based violence by challenging harmful norms and addressing trauma early through counselling and community action. Correctional health strain: Namibia’s correctional facilities are reported as overcrowded and under-resourced, raising concerns about the spread of airborne diseases and the shortage of correctional officers. Roadside drink-driving crackdown: Police will test drivers for alcohol at checkpoints until January 2027, targeting DUI as a key contributor to crashes.
