Namport donates two ambulances to health ministry

The Ministry of Health and Social Services on Monday received two fully equipped ambulances from the Namport Social Investment Fund (NSIF), with one allocated to the Kalkfeld community in the Otjozondjupa region and the other to be deployed to an area of greatest need.

Health minister Esperance Luvindao says the donation will strengthen the country’s emergency medical services, particularly in remote communities where patients often face long waits for ambulances.

“Namibia’s unique geography is one of our greatest challenges in healthcare delivery due to the distances within and across the 14 regions of our country.
