The government seems to have scaled down its long-standing plans to build an Ondangwa referral hospital, with Oshana governor Hofni Iipinge yesterday announcing the project will instead become a district hospital.
Speaking during his state of the region address at Oshakati, Iipinge said significant progress has been made towards the establishment of a long-awaited Ondangwa district hospital, with key preparations completed.
“Progress was made towards the establishment of the long-awaited Ondangwa district hospital, with the feasibility study completed, environmental assessments finalised and consultants appointed to commence detailed designs,” he said.
The announcement marks a notable departure from earlier government plans for a referral hospital at Ondangwa, a project first proposed nearly two decades ago to provide specialised healthcare services in northern Namibia.
