The Directorate of Veterinary Services has placed strict control measures in response to the outbreak of the lumpy skin disease (LSD) in the Otjinene constituency and Gam area of the Otjozondjupa Region.

Namibia faces a range of issues with implications for the nation's development and future prospects.
 

A group of young residents in Otjinene, Omaheke Region, has embarked on a leather project with the aim of empowering themselves and creating jobs for residents.

The group is focusing more on making leather shoes, seat covers, and saddles.

Shortages of hospital beds, ambulances, poor staff accommodation, especially at Otjinene, and delays in procurement are some of the factors affecting the provision of healthcare service delivery in the Omaheke Region.
