AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Public Health Emergency Readiness: Namibia is strengthening its capacity to respond to public health emergencies through leadership training and plans to operationalise functional public health emergency operations centres, with past outbreaks ranging from anthrax and measles to malaria, cholera, mpox and polio. Health System Supply & Care: The Ministry of Health has started receiving medical equipment bought directly from manufacturers to cut delays and reduce reliance on middlemen, while NamBTS warns blood reserves have fallen to just three days and urges donations to avoid postponed surgeries and delayed emergency treatment. Child Health & Protection: President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah marks the Day of the African Child and the 50th anniversary of the Soweto Uprising by calling for greater investment in children and universal WASH access, alongside stronger action against abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence; Namibia’s children make up about 42.7% of the population. Mental Health & Stigma: Catholic bishops raise alarm over a growing mental health crisis, and men are urged to seek help without shame as stigma and pressures continue to drive suffering. Clinical Services: A cataract surgical eye campaign in Rundu is restoring sight for hundreds across Kavango East and West. Accountability in Healthcare: A new SOP for managing health complaints aims to improve trust and patient-centred quality improvement rather than punishment. Road Safety Impact on Health: Police report a weekend surge in vehicle-related incidents with fatalities and injuries, underlining the health burden of crashes.
