AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Oshikoto Water Push: Oshikoto Governor Sacky Kathindi says water is the top priority, with N$6.4m from the Environmental Investment Fund funding booster pumps, boreholes and four mini desalination plants to boost safe supply for dozens of villages. Medicines Watch: Namibia’s NMRC cleared Fabu-Paracetamol and Fabupharm’s paracetamol syrup after independent lab checks, including screening for toxic contaminants, urging parents to report suspected side effects. Mental Health Reform: Namibia tabled a new mental health bill to modernise a 1973 law, but the real test will be whether services improve across the health system, especially beyond major towns. Child Health & Safety: Police in Oshakati are seeking the family of a newborn baby girl found abandoned, while the baby remains under medical care. Food Security Gains: In Omaheke, a nutrition programme supported by Capricorn Foundation and Genesis Namibia helped reduce severe malnutrition and register hundreds of children for daily meals. Heat & Health Risk: A new Nature-linked study warns “feels-like” heat stress and tropical nights are rising faster than air temperatures, increasing health-threatening heat periods. Workplace Stress: Furnmart and Home Corp Namibia workers launched a strike over wages, housing allowances and medical aid affordability, linking low pay to “financial depression” and mental health strain. Animal Health Alert: Vets urge puppy owners to vaccinate against parvovirus, warning it spreads easily and can become fatal without treatment.
