AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

HIV Response Under Pressure: Namibia’s HIV programme faces a major shift as the US phases out direct funding; the ministry says government will fund 100% of ARVs and HIV test kits, but experts warn sustainability depends on more than medicines. Patient Safety Focus: World Patient Safety Day was marked at Windhoek Central Hospital with a call to strengthen safe care for non-communicable diseases, warning that misdiagnosis and medication errors remain risks. Oxygen Reliability Worries: Mariental State Hospital is using oxygen cylinders while repairs continue on its main oxygen plant after intermittent shortages since June. Traditional Medicine Bill Stalls: Despite BRICS backing traditional medicine, Namibia’s Traditional Healers’ Practitioners Bill has sat in Parliament since 2014, leaving healers operating without registration or patient protections. Cybersecurity Alert: The Namibian Defence Force was named in an unverified ransomware claim; researchers say no proof-of-compromise has been publicly shown. Cleanliness & Public Services: A debate reignited around how Windhoek and Namibia lost the “clean city” identity, pointing to gaps in municipal planning, refuse collection and enforcement. GBV Protection Orders: Legal experts warn fast-tracked GBV protection orders must include safeguards to prevent abuse of the 24-hour process.
