AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Medicine Shortages Under Fire: The Ministry of Health says several essential drugs are understocked or out of stock, with emergency procurement underway, but opposition parties and patients’ concerns are growing—Asoli’s Josef Kauandenge says the President and health ministry have stayed silent while people are forced to buy from private pharmacies. Court Fight Over Hospital Negligence: Government is defending a N$13-million lawsuit linked to alleged Katutura Intermediate Hospital negligence after a surgical needle fragment allegedly remained in a patient for years. Health System Pressure Points: Namibia and WHO marked World Hypertension Day with calls for regular blood pressure checks and lifestyle changes—yet the broader picture remains strained by supply gaps. Urban Safety Warning: A UN-backed report highlights that over 70% of low-income daily travel relies on walking and cycling, while infrastructure still lacks safe sidewalks, crossings and cycling lanes—raising the stakes for road safety. Youth Empowerment: ǁKaras launched a Governor’s Youth Desk to connect young people to skills, entrepreneurship and decision-making.
