Namibia tackles medicine supply shortages

By: Sabina Mbabi

The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) is taking steps to address ongoing shortages of essential medicines in Namibia. At a press briefing in Windhoek on Monday, Health Minister Hon. Dr. Esperance Luvindao outlined measures aimed at improving the availability and management of pharmaceuticals.

Despite a budget allocation of N$1.9 billion for pharmaceuticals in 2025/2026, stock levels at the Central Medical Stores (CMS) have remained below 57%, short of the 80% target. Challenges cited include the absence of long-term contracts, global supply disruptions, increased demand, and limited storage capacity.

In response, the ministry activated emergency procurement on 13 August 2025, sourcing directly from 41 international manufacturers and wholesalers. This approach has helped secure supplies for about 75% of key medicines and generated potential savings compared to previous intermediary-led purchases.

Long-term reforms are also underway. The Central Procurement Board of Namibia is finalising two-year contracts for general pharmaceuticals, providing a more predictable supply. Plans to consolidate warehousing into a single secure facility and introduce tracking systems are intended to improve efficiency and reduce risk within the supply chain.

Dr. Luvindao emphasized that stricter accountability measures, including debarring non-performing suppliers, are being implemented to ensure medicines reach health facilities as intended.

She reassured the public that the ministry is working to stabilise the supply of essential medicines and improve service delivery across the country.

"The family of a 5 year old boy who allegedly killed a 2 year old girl last week at Uukuvu village says they regret not seeking a mental evaluation for the child, who had previously shown signs of aggressive behavior."

How do you know a child has a mental problem at a young age and how can they be helped?

‎Operation Katjavivi Launched to Boost Security in Kunene
‎
‎Selma Kambwela
‎
‎The Inspector General of the Namibian Police, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, officially launched Operation Katjavivi in the Kunene Region on Monday. The event took place at Opuwo, where Shikongo underscored the importance of cooperation between law enforcement and the community.
‎
‎The month-long operation, which started last week and will conclude at the end of September, is named after Kunene’s outgoing regional commander, Commissioner James Katjavivi Nderura, in honour of his 35 years of uninterrupted police service.
‎
‎Speaking at the launch, Shikongo said the initiative is more than a law enforcement exercise, describing it as “a call to action aimed at building trust and collaboration between the force and the communities we serve.”

He stressed that the operation seeks to deliver timely, responsive, and effective policing while safeguarding the lives, property, and dignity of citizens.
‎
‎Kunene continues to grapple with challenges such as stock theft, drug and alcohol abuse, gender-based violence, cross-border crimes, poaching, and organised criminal activities. Operation Katjavivi will therefore focus on high-visibility patrols in crime hotspots, roadblocks and vehicle inspections, crime awareness campaigns, engagement with traditional leaders, community policing forums, and collaboration with immigration, customs, and other security clusters.
‎
‎Shikongo reiterated the force’s unwavering commitment to restoring order, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring security in the region. He further urged residents to work closely with the police.

“The security of the region is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement agencies and armed forces, but rather a collective responsibility of all stakeholders,” he emphasised.

British, WFP Boost Food Security

By: Sabina Mbabi

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the British High Commission (BHC) conducted a site visit to Ikokola Village to review progress at the Integrated Food Systems Project.

Launched in 2023 at Mateus Nashandi Combined School, the project supplements school feeding with fresh produce, equips learners with agricultural skills, and creates local jobs. Through BHC’s support, 28 smallholder farmers have also received training, seeds, irrigation tools, and shade nets to strengthen household nutrition and resilience.

WFP Namibia Country Director Naouar Labidi praised the initiative, saying community partnerships are key to tackling food insecurity. British High Commissioner Neil Bradley reaffirmed his office’s commitment to empowering farmers and improving family nutrition.

The visit concluded with a tour of horticultural plots and the school garden, where local leaders applauded the project’s contribution to livelihoods and rural development.

‎
‎Police confirmed that the next of kin have been informed and investigations into the matter are ongoing.
