Health Ministry receives first directly procured medical equipment
The Ministry of Health and Social Services has received the first batch of medical equipment procured directly from manufacturers as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare service delivery across Namibia.
The equipment includes anaesthesia machines, ceiling-suspended theatre lights, mobile surgical lights, transport ventilators, neonatal ventilators, and infant incubators. These critical medical devices will be distributed to health facilities nationwide to enhance surgical services, critical care, and neonatal healthcare.
The arrival of the equipment marks an important milestone in the Ministry’s commitment to improving the quality of healthcare services and ensuring that healthcare workers have the necessary tools to provide efficient and effective care to patients.
Installation of some of the equipment has already commenced at health facilities in Windhoek, while the remaining installations are expected to take place at various facilities across the country before the end of June 2026. This delivery forms part of the Ministry’s broader efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, expand access to specialised services, and improve health outcomes for all Namibians in line with national development priorities under NDP 6.
