Last update: 8 hours ago

Men’s Health & Mental Wellness: Namibia’s Health Ministry marked Men’s Health Awareness Month with a mental health session for male staff, urging open talks and help-seeking without stigma. Responsible Gambling as Public Health: A Windhoek summit is reframing gambling addiction as a mental wellness and prevention issue, with plans for a dedicated task force and stronger consumer protection. Child Protection & WASH: On the Day of the African Child, leaders renewed calls to protect children from abuse and neglect, and to push universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene as a foundation for health. Healthcare Accountability & Safety: President Nandi-Ndaitwah ordered NCIS background checks on about 360 health officials tied to allegations of fraud and tender manipulation in pharmaceutical services. Blood Shortage Alert: NamBTS says reserves are down to just three days, urging donations to avoid delayed emergencies and postponed surgeries. Staff Pay Pressure: Gobabis nurses report months-long delays in overtime payments, leaving staff financially strained while claims await treasury approval.

Medical Supply Boost: MoHSS received a first batch of directly procured equipment to strengthen surgical, critical care and neonatal services nationwide. Road Safety Debate: A road safety expert argues speed-hump backlash is misplaced and points to driver behaviour as the real hazard.
