AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Polio response update: Namibia’s Ministry of Health says it has interrupted cVDPV2 transmission after reaching over 90% vaccination coverage, but also admitted some children were missed—highlighting gaps in microplanning, team deployment, vaccine logistics, cold chain, surveillance, community engagement, and data quality. Health system oversight: The ministry is investigating allegations that licensed doctors are leaving interns in charge of health facilities, with plans for more frequent, surprise inspections and a review of regulatory gaps. Private healthcare governance: Namibia Health Plan (NHP) says it has strengthened finances and governance after its 2026 AGM, reporting 2025 insurance revenue of over N$2.28 billion, a surplus of N$197.8 million, and improved solvency, alongside new trustees. Access barriers to care: Health officials say transport shortages are preventing some districts from visiting mobile clinics and community health posts, risking inconsistent service delivery in remote areas. Disability inclusion: NOYD chair Orben Muluti renewed the call for “nothing about us without us,” pushing for stronger inclusion and partnerships for persons with disabilities. Community health needs: Remote Ju/’hoansi San communities near Gobabis say long distances to clinics and unreliable ambulance services are forcing reliance on traditional remedies, and they want a closer facility.
