The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MHSS) has officially launched a nationwide clean-up campaign. The initiative, which will be conducted every three months across all 14 regions, is aimed at making hospitals and clinics safer, more hygienic spaces for patients, staff, and visitors alike.

Speaking at the launch event, Hon. Dr. Esperance Luvindao, a senior official in the Ministry, underscored the importance of maintaining clean healthcare environments.

“As they say, charity begins at home so does cleanliness. We cannot heal in places that aren’t clean. When we receive complaints about unclean hospitals, it is not only disappointing—it is embarrassing,” she stated.

Setting a powerful example of leadership in action, the MHSS Executive Team rolled up their sleeves and joined facility staff in cleaning the hospital premises. Their participation demonstrated a clear message of unity, shared responsibility, and appreciation for the often-overlooked work of hygiene officers and maintenance personnel.

“We cannot expect our people to do what we are not willing to do ourselves,” Dr. Luvindao added. “I have a newfound appreciation for our hygiene officers and maintenance staff. Working with these tools wasn’t easy. We must value the work that all our staff do and value them. Together, we must take responsibility for the cleanliness of our facilities. This is the only way for us to do better.”

The campaign, which will be implemented quarterly, places accountability on all regional directors to ensure consistent and visible results in their respective regions. According to Dr. Luvindao, this effort must go beyond symbolic action it requires discipline, consistency, and long-term commitment.

“The Ministry must not be known for starting commendable initiatives but not maintaining them. Discipline is key,” she emphasized.

With this initiative, MHSS is calling on all Namibians healthcare workers, patients, and the general public to take pride in their places of care. The Ministry hopes the campaign will inspire a nationwide culture of cleanliness and respect for health facilities.

“A clean hospital is the first step to healing,” concluded Dr. Luvindao.

The campaign marks a significant step toward strengthening the overall quality of care and restoring public confidence in Namibia’s healthcare system.
