President Hage Geingob says the newly renovated Emergency Unit at Katutura Intermediate Hospital is just one example of infrastructure to boost the overall healthcare system and effectively deal with emergency medical situations.

Dr. Geingob inaugurated the facility, refurbished at a cost of more than N$3 million.

The Emergency Unit, previously known as the Casualty Unit, is the biggest emergency unit in the country.

The mother of the late Elleste Plaatjie who allegedly suffered a fatal assault at the hands of the Namibian Police Force is requesting that no bail be granted to the two police officers.

Veronica Plaatjie says, she was with her son at the Keetmanshoop State Hospital and witnessed the severe pain he was in.

The police who were on shift that night say Plaatjie, took the incident as a joke and was reluctant to assist them.
