The demand for health care services is growing in the Erongo Region due to an ageing population, staff shortages, and an underdeveloped healthcare system.

A team of forty Egyptian medical specialists and support staff are in Namibia to assist in the provision of health care services.

There are many patients in need of medical care but have limited human and infrastructure capacity, especially for complicated surgeries.

Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, Minister of Health and Social Services, says his ministry will continue to work to improve healthcare services in both urban and rural areas.
