Swapo’s presidential candidate, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, has taken a swipe at Namibians travelling abroad for medical treatment.
“We can do every treatment again . . . Those who are going out, it’s a choice.
“It’s not because they are not specialised in care. Comrades, these are serious things we are talking about,” she says.
This comes as minister of health and social services Kalumbi Shangula has said that public hospitals have been struggling with clinical and medicinal supplies for the past three years.
Nandi-Ndaitwah addressed a rally in Windhoek on Sunday.
“I was so happy when my medical team told me that while you have invested in this country, in the supplies and medical training, you should not go out for medical treatment,” she said.
