The Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Utjiua Muinjangue, says Namibia's coronavirus journey has been a difficult one, worsened by logistical challenges such as inadequate human and material resources.

Muinjangue made the remarks during a handover ceremony of vaccination equipment from Project Hope Namibia to the Ministry of Health.

Handing over the equipment, Project HOPE Namibia Country Director, Rosalia Indongo, said the aim was to bring Namibia's COVID-19 vaccination level to 70% or above.

The Erongo Region remains an active hub of economic development as it houses key industries such as the fishing sector, mining, logistics and transport, as well as tourism.
