AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Breastfeeding push in Khomas: Namibia marks Breastfeeding Week as officials warn exclusive breastfeeding stays low, with Khomas at just 25% and only 49% of babies (0–5 months) exclusively breastfed; fathers are urged to support mothers and workplaces and families are called to create real breastfeeding support. New clinic for remote communities: The N$9.3m Okondjatu Primary Health Care Clinic was inaugurated in Otjozondjupa, expected to serve 5,000+ residents and ease pressure on nearby facilities, with plans for nurse accommodation to keep care consistent. Court case over failed surgery: A Walvis Bay woman is suing the Ministry of Health and Social Services for N$3 million after an alleged botched breast reduction at state hospital, with the matter set to go to trial. GBV numbers remain high: Police recorded more than 18,500 gender-based violence cases in 2025/26, with leaders stressing victim-centred services and community prevention. Road safety and injuries: Two Western Bypass crashes minutes apart left one dead and two seriously injured, highlighting ongoing risks on major routes. Detention conditions: Police say they’re reviewing how trial-awaiting inmates are fed after a court order, aiming to improve meal nutrition and welfare. Social welfare staffing strain: Omaheke has only three social workers for seven constituencies, leaving vulnerable children and GBV survivors struggling to access support. El Niño health risks: Africa faces a 90% chance of a major El Niño event, with warnings of drought, floods, food shortages and disease outbreaks unless countries prepare now. Accident update (Kombat): A pregnant woman and her son killed in a Kombat vehicle crash have been identified, while one other occupant died later in Windhoek.
