Residents of Iingapanda Village in the Omusati Region are still waiting for approval to build a community clinic, despite securing funding and completing the required documentation.

Otjozondjupa Regional Council has officially handed over a fully equipped ambulance to Kalkfeld Clinic, which has been operating without one for years.

The ambulance is a donation from NamPort's social investment fund, which also purchased another one earmarked for Gam Clinic in Tsumkwe Constituency.

Health officials at the Manghetti Health Centre in the Tsumkwe Constituency say shortages of transport, medical equipment and deteriorating infrastructure are affecting the delivery of healthcare services in the area.

Members of the !Kung Traditional Authority has raised concerns over healthcare service delivery in their area.

Its chief, Ilony Arnold, is asking for answers after the ambulance driver of Omatako Clinic was reassigned to the Mangetti Dune Health Centre.
