Eight Cuban doctors arrived in Namibia late last year, increasing the total number of Cuban medical specialists in the country to 98.
Their arrival is aimed at alleviating the shortage of medical staff in Namibia, particularly in underserved areas.
The public radio and television company of Namibia, Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), published this weekend extensive and substantial material on the recent visit to Cuba of the President of this African nation, H.E. Dr. Nangolo Mbumba.
In a stellar space on the channel, the Namibian public received extensive information about this visit, cataloged by President Mbumba as "the highest honor I have received in my entire life", for which he thanked "the warm welcome."
The President of the Republic of Namibia, His Excellency. Mr. Dr. Nangolo Mbumba, arrived this Sunday in Cuba on an official visit that will last until December 18.
As part of the program, he will hold official conversations with the President of the Republic of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, meetings with other Cuban authorities and will carry out other activities. On the occasion, the “José Martí Order” will be awarded to him, the highest decoration awarded by the government of the Republic of Cuba. The signing of agreements that will promote bilateral ties is also planned.

The President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, received Mr. Lukas Sinimbo Muha, Chairperson of the National Council of Namibia, at the Palace of the Revolution.
During the exchange, the Cuban president highlighted the close and historic bilateral relations, forged since the fight against apartheid and for the independence of Namibia. He especially underlined the great affection that both peoples have and assured that Namibia can continue to count on Cuba always.
“Namibia and Cuba share a deep connection that goes beyond mere diplomacy,” said Namibian Chief Justice Peter Sam Shivute as he welcomed his Cuban counterpart, Dr. Ruben Remigio Ferro, to the African nation.
Speaking during the official visit of the President of the Supreme People’s Tribunal of Cuba (TSP) to the Supreme Court of Namibia in Windhoek, Judge Shivute said the collaboration between the two nations is rooted in solidarity and the sacrifices made by the Cuban people during Namibia’s long and difficult struggle for independence.
