AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Tobacco in schools: Namibia’s National Council health committee has started an investigative visit to schools in Otjozondjupa to assess the use of hubbly-bubbly and other tobacco products among learners, with calls for stronger protection of youth and even a ban. Public health access: The Ministry of Health says medicine shortages at Rundu State Hospital and clinics are part of a wider national problem, promising monthly updates on stock levels at Central Medical Stores. Sexual violence in healthcare: Rape accused doctor Dennis Noa appeared in court seeking bail to return to work, while the ministry says it cannot act on unproven allegations after acquittal as a second rape investigation is underway. Nursing workplace pressures: Enrolled nurses are asking for a salary scale upgrade, arguing their pay doesn’t match their responsibilities and risks. Sanitation gap: Namibia is lagging on safe water and sanitation, with about 40% of households lacking adequate sanitation and nearly 7 in 10 in marginalised communities without toilets. Local care needs: Oponona Health Outreach Centre in Oshana is appealing for basic support like chairs, curtains, electricity, fencing and toilets to keep primary healthcare running. Cost pressure on households: Windhoek residents face another squeeze as the city confirms a 4% municipal tariff increase affecting water, rates, sewerage and waste services.
