AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Health Regulation Update: Namibia’s health ministry has gazetted new Health Professions Act rules on how official notices and subpoenas must be served on registered practitioners, including delivery to residences/businesses, authorised representatives, email and SMS. Workforce & Safety Oversight: The ministry is investigating claims that licensed doctors are leaving interns in charge of health facilities, with plans for more frequent and surprise inspections. Public Service Accountability: Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare urged executive directors to fix weak implementation and accountability, warning that unfinished projects like clinics and hospitals are wasting public money and delaying essential services. Disease Surveillance Boost: Namibia received a portable mobile laboratory from Russia to speed up sample transport and strengthen outbreak detection and response, with local staff training underway. Health Access & Wellness: Namibia’s NamFitness Expo returns in Windhoek (3–4 July) with fitness, mental wellness and health screenings. Health Coverage & Governance: The Namibia Health Plan says it improved its financial position and governance, reporting a 2025 surplus and stronger reserves as it moves toward Universal Care. Community Health Tragedy: A mother of seven, Elizabeth Stuurman, died after a difficult pregnancy and lack of transport for follow-up care, leaving seven children behind. Policy & Implementation Watch: Civil society is pushing for stronger self-regulation and better monitoring as Namibia implements the African Peer Review Mechanism, including expanded areas like disaster resilience and e-governance.
