Patients who depend on oxygen concentrators but cannot afford them are often stuck in hospitals.

While taking up a much-needed bed, they are also frustrated about staying away from family members for too long.

49-year-old Solastika Vendura from Mazana Village in the Kavango East Region is one of those who have been in the Rundu State Hospital for eight months now.

She was diagnosed with a lung condition and diabetes and has been admitted to the Rundu State Hospital since last November.

Member of Parliament and Berseba Constituency Regional Councillor, Jeremias Goeieman has appealed to the ||Kharas Regional Health Directorate to enhance health care delivery to rural communities.

He made the request during a handing-over ceremony of a donation of medical equipment at Berseba Village.

Goeieman also seized the opportunity to remind health workers, especially nurses, that their career is a calling and not a profession.
