At Windhoek Central Hospital, the President was briefed on upgraded patient facilities and modern systems intended to enhance communication between healthcare workers and patients. These improvements form part of broader efforts to prepare public facilities for increased use by civil servants under the Public Service Employees Medical Aid Scheme.
She further received updates on the expansion of dialysis services through partnerships aimed at addressing high demand. Services have already been introduced in Keetmanshoop and Oshakati, with additional rollouts planned for the Zambezi, Erongo and Otjozondjupa regions.
Both hospitals have also strengthened customer care units, introducing clear timelines for handling complaints to improve accountability and patient-centred service delivery.
President Nandi-Ndaitwah emphasised the importance of a positive patient experience in the healing process and encouraged public servants to utilise public healthcare facilities, noting that increased usage would support reinvestment and further improvements in the system.
