AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

FMD Alert: Namibia has confirmed foot-and-mouth disease in Zambezi, the second affected region after

Kharas. Emergency vaccination and surveillance are underway, with animal movements and livestock trade suspended across Zambezi. Mental Health: WHO says Namibia’s new mental health reforms need reliable funding and a clear implementation plan. The government has pledged annual funding increases and aims to open five mental health units nationwide by 2037; the country currently has only two specialist facilities. Hospital Care: A cardiac unit crisis at Windhoek Central Hospital has raised wider concerns about broken equipment, medicine shortages and poor working conditions. Separately, an Ongwediva imaging centre is offering free breast screening through state hospitals this October, as Namibia recorded an estimated 4,205 cancer cases in 2024.
