Christmas Day in Windhoek was marked by the joyful arrival of six newborns at the Katutura Intermediate and Central hospitals.

Four baby girls and one bouncing baby boy were delivered at the Katutura Hospital Maternity Ward, while the Central Hospital saw the arrival of a baby boy.

The first cries of the Christmas babies echoed through Katutura Hospital at 1:52, heralding the beginning of a heartwarming series of arrivals.

Just three minutes later, a little princess made her debut at 1:55.

Vertice MedTech Namibia has donated medical equipment to the value of N$135 000 to the Ministry of Health and Social Services.

The donation is meant to help the Health Ministry improve the quality of its cardiovascular care offered, in accordance with the World Health Organization for Prevention of Cardiovascular disease.

The donation comprises five Zephyr single-chamber Abbott Pacemaker kits with pacemakers among others.
