Parliamentarians meet to discuss Universal Health Coverage

The Parliamentary Standing Committee, both from the National Council andAssembly met with officials from the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) for a twodayconsultativeengagementonUniversalHealthCoverage (UHC)inSwakopmundlastweek.

The consultation meeting, was aimed at providing an update on Namibia's progress towards UHC policy development, obtaining input on Namibia's UHC implementationpriorities,and creating champions and advocacy for UHCpolicy

UHC means that everyindividualand community should have access to quality and affordable health services without suffering undue financial hardship or financial catastrophe. It also includes access to essential medicines, therapeutics, vaccines, and technologies that are effective, safe, and of good quality

Universal Health

Coverage also means getting needed health and socialservicesassociated with affordable care for people receiving health servicessothatthey can afford food and other life necessities. It means that families should not be forced to choose between accessing needed healthcare services, and their next meal They shouldnotbeforced to choose between accessing health care, and whether their children are able to attend

school. During the opening of the twoday consultation meeting, the Executive Director of Health and Social Services, Ben NangombesaidNamibia has started the long and sacred journey towards the attainment of a critical national goal with respect to the provision of public healthcare services tocitizens.

According to Nangombe, as the entity spearheading the preparatory work to make UHC a reality in Namibia, the Ministry of Health and Social Services saw it fit to create platforms where different stakeholders can become partandparcelofthe UHC journey through public consultations. It is from thatbackgroundthat the consultation meeting took place to engage with our Honourable MembersofParliament.

Nangombe said, “at its core, UHC is about the people. It is about communities.Itisaboutthe most vulnerable and most at-risk demographics to whom, weaslawmakers,as policymakers, and as implementors mustcater Thework thatwehavedonein thepast,theworkwe are doing here, and

what we will continue to do in the future,isaboutthem.”

Attainment and realisation of UHC mean not only lowering but removing barriers to seeking, accessing, and receiving needed healthcare services, along theentirecontinuum. Nangombe further mentioned that this means investing in the health and wellbeing of the Namibian people, and not only reducing, but overcoming entirely, the challenges our people face when they seek health care services. For example, physical and geographic distances, poorly equipped health facilities, shortage of trained health workers, inadequate therapeutics and pharmaceuticals, transport forpatientswhoneed it,andotheraspects.

Nangombe said Namibia has come a longwayinitsefforts to provide access to quality health servicesforall.

“WeadoptedthePrimary Health Care approachatIndependence.Thismarkeda significant milestone inourjourneytoward UHC.Sincethen,we have made many strides in providing access to quality health and social welfare services to ourpeople.”

The southern coastal town Lüderitz is going to experience a phenomenalrevivalasafutureeconomichubofNamibia.

Lüderitz Mayor Benjamin McKay made this observation duringhiswelcomingremarks at a packed stakeholders' engagement on the development of a Green Hydrogenindustryinthe county

The mayor said that fromnear-declineand abandonment, Lüderitzisenvisagedtobecome the economic epicentre for national developmentprojects, like the envisaged Green Hydrogen projects and the ongoing exploration for gas andoil.

McKay said, “these projects are definitely going to change the socio-economic landscapeofourtowndue to the foreseen influx ofpeople.”

McKay informed the President that while welcoming all developmental projects and specifically the latterproject,thetown council is excited but equallyconcerned.

"As the Mayor of Lüderitz, I need to behonest and admit that the Lüderitz Town Council does not have the required resources to provide all expected municipal services, urban planning, and development associated with the Green Hydrogen Project. Our local authority in Lüderitz is expected tocreate,expand,and developcertainfacilities or infrastructures inordertoprovidethe required municipal

services to the community and, similarly, create a very conducive environment for businesses to thrive,” he said and added, “my humble appealtodayisforour President to intervene in terms of governmental support and possibleco-ordination because this matter of the Green Hydrogen project coming to Lüderitz needs to be prioritised.”

McKay argued that the harbour town should, therefore, be regarded as a special caseintermsofcapital fundinginsupportand preparation of the Green Hydrogen project.

The Lüderitz mayor said, “we urgently need the intervention of the central government to address some of the challenges which need to be attended to with urgency and that the issue of urban planning and development, and the financing thereof, must be collectively addressed. We need urgent funding, as per our projections, in order nottoderaileconomic development and growth opportunities for our people. Our line ministry of urban and rural developmentneedstocomeon board with urgen-cy Lüderitz needs to be prioritisedwithurgency."

Mckay pleaded President Hage Geingob to increase capital fun-

dingtothetownsothat it may be better positioned to provide municipal services with the advent of the Green Hydrogen Project.

The mayor concluded thatLüderitzshouldbe regarded as a special caseintermsofcapital funding, in support of andpreparationforthe Green Hydrogen Project.
