The ministry of health and social services has gazetted two new sets of regulations under the Health Professions Act of 2024, establishing procedures for serving official documents on registered health professionals and setting out requirements for authorising health practitioners to work in government employment.

The regulations were published in Government Gazette No. 8960 on 26 June 2026 and were signed by health minister Esperance Luvindao.

The first regulation outlines how notices, subpoenas, and other official documents issued by the Health Professions Council of Namibia or its registrar must be served on registered practitioners.
