The Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) has acquired 18 vehicles to meet its specimen transportation needs. 

This represents an ongoing commitment to invest in resources that will enable the organisation to deliver exceptional care to patients and healthcare partners in both the public and private industries. 

The fleet of cars will reduce waiting times and increase efficiency by ensuring that samples are picked up from collection sites and transported safely to the nearest laboratory. 

The Keetmanshoop Municipality has sent a warning to panel beaters and mechanical workshops not to repair vehicles belonging to the council without an official order.

The reminder comes after a council vehicle was found being repaired without authorisation by a local panel beater last week. 

The council vehicle was allegedly taken by a municipal employee to the panel beater after it was involved in an accident.
