Welwitschia Hospital leads the way as the first in Namibia to adopt 3D Laparoscopic technology. 🏥🇳🇦

Our team of General Surgeons has received a significant upgrade. This cutting-edge equipment provides 3D visualization during minimally invasive procedures, bridging the gap between traditional laparoscopy and robotic surgery capabilities.

The enhanced depth perception is vital for complex procedures, including gallbladder removal, heartburn surgery, and major cancer surgeries. Dr. Borowski, who performed the first cases, notes that this technology offers a clear advantage particularly when internal suturing is required.

By investing in global standards of technology, we aim to deliver shorter operating times and superior outcomes for our patients.

While palliative care for children is a sensitive and often difficult topic, it is vital to provide comfort, support, and compassion to our young patients and their families. We are proud to applaud Dr. Privilage Makanda-Charambira, our resident Paediatrician & Paediatric Nephrologist, for earning her Pediatric Palliative Care certification. This achievement enables her to provide holistic, trusted, and specialised care tailored to the unique needs of children.

Your child’s comfort, care, and well-being are our priority.
