Namibia has achieved a TB treatment success rate of 87%, 3% short of its 90% target.

Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, revealed this at the World TB Day held at Luderitz in the Kharas Region. 

Some Members of Parliament almost stopped a session on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) as they were annoyed by the absence of the Minister of Health and Social Services.

The MPs stressed that such a session, currently taking place in Swakopmund, needs to be led by Dr. Kalumbi Shangula.
