Renovations for a regional unit in Swakopmund are complete, with operations scheduled to begin in January 2026. The initiative is part of the association’s broader Palliative Care Namibia programme, aimed at ensuring patients receive comprehensive support from the point of diagnosis, not just at the end of life.
