The government clinic at Aus in the ||Kharas region is facing severe chronic medicine shortages and lacks a dedicated ambulance to transport emergency patients.
Langa says since his surgery two years ago, he has experienced medicine shortages at Windhoek Central Hospital, Lüderitz District Hospital, Keetmanshoop State Hospital and the clinic at Aus.
Does the government not plan, or are they not aware of what is happening at Aus clinic?”
He says Aus clinic used to have an ambulance, which was donated in 2016, but the ambulance has been “gone” for the past year and a half.
AMBULANCE AT LüDERITZ||Kharas health director Sandra Owoses acknowledges that it is possible that there were periods over the past two years Aus clinic faced chronic medicine shortages, as this was experienced countrywide.
