AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Mental Health Law: Namibia’s National Council has passed the Mental Health Bill (replacing the 1973 Act), paving the way for stronger community-based services and clearer patient rights before it goes to the President. Water & Health Access: The Prime Minister opened the 4th Junior National Council session, urging youth to help solve water, sanitation and hygiene gaps—framing safe water as a basic right. Road Safety as Public Health: A National Council transport committee calls road deaths a national crisis, pointing to reckless driving, weak enforcement, unsafe infrastructure and slow emergency response. Clinic Power Shortage: Witvlei Clinic nurses say they sometimes use phone flashlights during night emergencies and struggle to keep vaccines safe during multi-day outages because there’s no backup generator. Health Data Sovereignty: Namibia rejected a US proposal for health data and specimen sharing over privacy and sovereignty concerns, while talks on HIV funding continue. Cancer Awareness Loss: Veteran NBC cameraman and cancer advocate Lamech Mwanyangapo has died after a battle with multiple myeloma. Regional Health Security: Venezuela joined an Africa CDC health-security meeting in Windhoek, focusing on resilient and sovereign health systems across Southern Africa.
