Namibia strengthening public health emergency preparedness

Namibia is strengthening its capacity to respond to public health emergencies through enhanced leadership, coordination and preparedness.

This is according to speakers at the opening of the executive leadership training on public health emergency management and public health emergency operations centres in Windhoek on Tuesday.

“Public health emergencies remain a growing threat across Africa, requiring countries to invest in preparedness and coordinated response mechanisms,” Ministry of Health and Social Services deputy executive director Taimi Amaambo says.
