AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Road Safety & Public Health: Parliament’s transport committee met MoW&T, the Roads Authority and MoHSS to tackle Namibia’s road accident crisis, citing about 700 annual casualties and pushing a Safe System approach that links safer roads, vehicles, behaviour, enforcement and post-crash emergency response. Mental Health Reform: MPs backed the Mental Health Bill but warned it could become “paper law” without funding, staff, and regional infrastructure, noting severe shortages and overcrowding at Windhoek Central and Oshakati facilities. Medicine Safety: The Namibia Medicines Regulatory Council warned of rising sales and promotion of unregistered GLP-1 and peptide weight-loss/diabetes medicines (including Ozempic and Wegovy names) via social media and informal markets. Corruption Risk in Health: MoHSS launched a corruption risk workshop with the Anti-Corruption Commission, flagging vulnerabilities in procurement and pharmaceutical supply, including stock data manipulation and misuse of emergency procurement. Community Health Alerts: Otavi Town Council warned residents not to consume or sell vodka cans recovered from an accident scene, saying high-alcohol products may be contaminated and life-threatening for children. Access to Care & Services: A former nurse accused Katutura Intermediate Hospital of delayed treatment after a 2022 crash, alleging permanent injuries. Digital Health & Learning Support: Oversight visits found poor mobile/internet coverage disrupting schooling in Kavango East and West, while new towers await power-grid connection.
