The association embarked on the renovation project in April, but suffered delays during the third wave of Covid-19. The association’s chief executive officer, Rolf Hansen re-commited its support towards cancer patients and the ministry.<\/p>\n

“The Cancer Association of Namibia will continue to support the fight against cancer in Namibia, despite the harrowing consequences that Covid-19 has inflicted on the economy and also the association’s budget. Perseverance despite the challenges is our only focus. We cannot fail our patients,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hansen also expressed his appreciation towards partners who contributed to the project that cost N$350 000. Partners include Namibia Breweries Limited, the Bankers Association of Namibia, Pupkewitz Foundation, Polka Plumbing, Ida Smit, Estelle Viljoen and the Namibian community at large. Renovations included replacing the linoleum floors and bathroom walls, painting, fixing sanitary units, wall murals and new curtains, amongst others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
