AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Mental Health Reform Funding: MPs backed Namibia’s Mental Health Bill but warned it will fail without money, specialised staff, and facilities reaching rural areas, calling for mental health units at regional hospitals and trained workers at district hospitals and health centres. Medicines Safety Watch: Namibia’s medicines regulator warned consumers about unregistered injectable weight-loss products sold online and in informal markets, flagging risks of wrong ingredients, incorrect strengths, contamination, and counterfeit items. Hospital Care Accountability: A former nurse accused Katutura Intermediate Hospital of delayed treatment after a 2022 crash, saying the wait led to permanent cervical spine injuries and ongoing severe headaches and neck pain. Covid-19 School Update: Education officials reported no further Covid-19 cases at Delta Primary School hostel in Windhoek after a caretaker tested positive, with screening, separation, disinfection, and pupils staying away until 7 September. Community Health Infrastructure: Engela State Hospital is set to receive refurbished beds through a youth foundation project, with 15 beds targeted by end of September and at least 70 improved overall. Workplace Rights Enforcement: Labour oversight in Erongo is being hampered by shortages of inspectors, vehicles, and funding, raising concerns about occupational health and safety and worker protections. Sports Inclusion & Health Education: Special Olympics Namibia is expanding inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities through sport-linked health education and Unified Sports, supported by international partners. Local Health Supply Chain: NIPDB is hosting a local supplier pitching session at the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference, including health and safety and other services that can support safer workplaces. Nuclear Fuel Industry Review: ASP Isotopes’ subsidiary Quantum Leap Energy has started an environmental and social impact assessment for a pilot metal-conversion facility in Walvis Bay, with public consultation underway.
