AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Water & health security: Germany’s development policy highlights water access as a driver of health, jobs and peace, pointing to support in Namibia to modernise sewage treatment and build a Windhoek water treatment plant that turns wastewater back into drinking water. Trauma care closer to home: Onandjokwe Intermediate Hospital received N$4 million in MVA Fund equipment (including a C-arm) and officials urged staff to treat and discharge eligible trauma patients locally to reduce transfers. Mental health burden: Namibia recorded 91,544 mental health cases in 2024/25, with 11,489 admissions and 123 deaths; officials stressed stigma, limited awareness and the need for stronger school-based identification and referral. Local health leadership: Namibia’s President met WHO and Africa CDC chiefs at State House, with a focus on health priorities, regional cooperation and building stronger, more self-reliant systems as external funding declines. Pharma & safety: WHO urged local vaccine manufacturing, while Namibia’s medicine regulator warned against unlicensed weight-loss and GLP-1/peptide products. Public health incident: Nine patients were discharged after consuming spilled vodka energy drinks in Otavi, reported as stable after treatment. Youth & education equity: The First Gentleman launched the DEN Impact Foundation for youth (agriculture, sports, education and vocational training), alongside UNAM research showing boys repeat and leave school earlier more often than girls. Community health & environment: Walvis Bay residents petitioned against marine phosphate mining over fears for ecosystems and coastal livelihoods. Wildlife health: A cheetah’s satellite collar failed, but field checks confirmed Tupuka was healthy, supporting early warning for farmers.
