The communities of Okathitu Kambanda, Embwa, and Oluteyi in the Omusati Region met the government halfway by raising funds to construct a 4-kilometre access road. 
The new road, located along the envisaged Epato-Ombathi gravel route, will link residents to nearby clinics, churches, and schools.

For residents of Gibeon Village and nearby farms, access to medical doctors means long travel distances to the nearest hospital in Mariental, since the village is served only by a clinic staffed with nurses.

The Namibia Diamond Trading Company (NDTC) boosted four clinics in the Aminuis Constituency with essential items for expectant mothers and babies. 

NDTC spent more than N$60,000 on items that will be distributed amongst these clinics to aid new mothers. 

The Chairperson of the Kavango East Regional Council, Damian Maghambayi, has called on the government to review the policy that informs which communities can receive clinics.
