Heavy storms in the Kavango West Region on Wednesday left the Tondoro Health Centre flooded.

The stormwater left the waiting, reception, pharmacy storage areas, and delivery room underwater.

According to the Ministry of Health and Social Services, the water originated from a water pool that had formed along the nearby gravel road due to inadequate stormwater drainage.

The Ministry says no major damage to medical equipment or clinical supplies occurred.

It added that the Ministry is working with the Roads Authority to implement measures at the health centre to avoid a repeat.
