AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Cancer Control Push: WHO, IAEA and IARC launched a five-day Cancer Impact Review Mission in Namibia to assess prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, palliative care and cancer financing—coming as Health Minister Esperance Luvindao warns cases could jump 84% to over 6,300 annually by 2045. Neonatal Care Upgrade: Swakopmund District Hospital opened a new N$30m Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to cut neonatal mortality and bring advanced care closer to families. Mental Health Law Update: Namibia’s National Assembly adopted a mental health amendment bill to replace the 1973 act, with stronger rights-based protections, community care, tighter rules on restraint/seclusion, and suicide prevention. Health System Integrity: The Anti-Corruption Commission summoned a ministry of health bid committee member over alleged procurement manipulation and pharmaceutical stock theft. Medicine Supply Shock: Namibia faces its first major pharmaceutical shortage in 36 years after procurement was suspended over fraud, theft and stock-data manipulation. Workplace Wellness: The Vice President urged employers to create wellness spaces, pointing to Old Mutual’s centre as a model for preventative support. Training Partnerships: Welwitchia University and Hope Home-Based Health Care signed an MoU to strengthen nursing and social work student placements and community-based care. Fitness & Nutrition Outreach: Windhoek hosts the NamFitness Expo (3–4 July) with screenings, nutrition testing and wellness talks. Funding Pressure on Health Students: NSFAF rejected funding for over 200 medical/health-adjacent students abroad, citing non-priority study fields. Public Health Infrastructure: Government fast-tracked sanitation rollout after allocating N$34m, targeting dignity and improved toilet access nationwide.
