The Rundu Intermediate Hospital has awarded a certificate of appreciation to its High Care Unit.

This came after the department took first place overall in service delivery at the hospital.

The pediatric unit and the pre-mature unit came in second and third place, respectively.

The Rundu Intermediate Hospital used International Nurses Day to award the best department as a way of boosting the morale of the nurses to perform their calling effectively.

After a 20-year waiting period, the Ozonahi Conservancy project has finally been awarded a certificate of operation to address bush encroachment in the Okakarara Constituency of the Otjozondjupa Region.

The certificate was awarded by Environment, Forestry, and Tourism Minister Pohamba Shifeta, who said such projects are needed as encroaching bushes hamper agricultural productivity.
