Patients at Omuthiya District Hospital in the Oshikoto Region have raised concerns about the lack of dental medication. Patients have reportedly been sent back home as a result.

The youth in Omuthiya are turning to self-employment initiatives, including the running of small businesses, in part to address unemployment experienced in the country.

Oshikoto residents say the 1904-1908 Genocide Remembrance Day upholds Namibian history and honours those who lost their lives in pursuit of Namibia's independence.
