AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Health Research Funding: Namibia’s Thanzi Programme (CHE) secured a new grant from The Life You Can Save to expand health systems research and capacity-building into Namibia and Zambia, supporting work toward Universal Health Coverage and policy use with partners including UNAM and ECSA-HC. Medicine Access & Local Industry: President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah visited Fabupharm, spotlighting local pharmaceutical manufacturing as a practical response to ongoing essential medicine shortages in public hospitals and clinics. Malaria Focus: Zambezi Region marked World Malaria Day by urging early testing and treatment, proper prevention (treated nets, repellents, indoor spraying), and better adherence to protocols as the region remains Namibia’s malaria hotspot. Workplace Safety & Mental Health: Namibia commemorated World Day for Safety and Health at Work, with officials citing rising psychosocial risks and announcing steps to strengthen inspections and occupational disease prevention in sectors like mining. Men’s Health Push: PCFA’s “Walk for Him” during Men’s Health Week encourages men to know prostate cancer risk and get checked early, using personal stories to drive action. Road Safety & Health Services: A fatal safari crash near Sesriem sent injured passengers to Welwitschia Private Hospital, while police also reported other road incidents and arrests linked to alcohol and licensing. Youth & Food Security: A Windhoek youth group has set up 700 backyard gardens over four years, training young people in gardening, composting, and small-scale agribusiness to cut food costs and boost local food security. Regional Health Cooperation: Namibia is among countries at risk of Ebola exposure due to the DRC outbreak, with Africa CDC warning that barrier measures and rapid detection are key where vaccines aren’t available for the strain.
