Health workers from the Rundu Intermediate Hospital, accompanied by students from the health sector, marched through Rundu's CBD in commemoration of World Mental Health Day. 

A group of Rundu residents walked for 15 kilometres to commemorate World Hypertension Day. 

Commemorated on May 17 every year, the day aims to raise awareness and promote measures to detect, control, and prevent hypertension. 

Four minors from Livaye Village in Kavango East who died from suspected food poisoning were buried in a mass grave over the weekend.

Eight children initially ate the food, of whom four died and the others survived, while the remaining four were discharged.

The incident happened on February 26.

The Rundu Intermediate Hospital is struggling with a staff shortage.

This was disclosed by Medical Superintendent Dr. Jean Kalala Kabangu during the visit of the National Council's Standing Committee on Health, Social Welfare, and Labour Affairs.

The Rundu Intermediate Hospital has awarded a certificate of appreciation to its High Care Unit.

This came after the department took first place overall in service delivery at the hospital.

The pediatric unit and the pre-mature unit came in second and third place, respectively.
