Minister of Health and Social Services Esperance Luvindao has officially inaugurated the new Mabushe Clinic in Kavango East. 

The nearly nine million dollar facility replaces a flood-prone structure to deliver vital medical services to 18 rural villages.

Dr. Luvindao emphasised that the healthcare facility marks a crucial step toward enhancing access to quality medical services and boosting the overall well-being of the community in the Kavango East Region. 

Mabushe Clinic is situated in Mashare Constituency with an estimated catchment population of 5,166 inhabitants, serving Rundjarara, Shavivare, Neyuva, Shikenge, Mauvara and Karanawa villages.

"I want to take this opportunity to applaud your local and traditional authority leaders who refused to accept the status quo. You powerfully advocated for sustainable solutions and stepped forward. I want to thank all the leadership present at the high table for their individual roles and the role they played in ensuring that the Ministry was able to work with them to make it a reality."

Dr Luvindao called on the professionals to serve with absolute accountability, punctuality, and empathy for patients in their most vulnerable moments.

Governor of Kavango East Region Hamunyera Hambyuka also expressed his appreciation to the government for bringing services closer to the people.

"This clinic stands as a symbol of our commitment to decentralising services and bringing quality health care directly to the doorsteps of our people. As the governor of Kavango East, I'm incredibly proud of this development. The community will receive quality service from this clinic."
