For Africa to achieve universal health coverage by 2030, it will require an additional 1.8 million health workers. 

However, it is projected that the continent will have a critical shortage of a health workforce of about 6.1 million by 2030. 

The private and public sectors are urged to play their roles if Namibia is to reach the Nationally Determined Contributions to reduce carbon emissions by 89% to 91% by 2030.

Namibia needs to do more in order to achieve the World Health Organisation's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) target of over 80% by 2030.

This is despite notable progress made in the health sector.
