Overview

Ondangwa Private Hospital is an existing hospital situated in Ondangwa. It offers private healthcare in the town of Ondangwa and surrounding settlements in the Oshana region of Namibia.

Background

Ondangwa Private Hospital CC was incorporated on the 13th of February 2014. The hospital licence was issued in July 2014 paving way for the hospital to open its doors to the general public in August 2014 as the first private hospital in Ondangwa. The following is a brief narrative leading to the existence of Ondangwa Private Hospital:

Dr. H. L. Musweu established a medical practice in 2005 and operated this practice which gave birth to OPH. The hospital was setup by Dr H L Musweu and two other Medical Practitioners after realizing the need for private healthcare in Ondangwa Town, Setting up of the hospital was demand driven due to the fact that Ondangwa did not have a private hospital, hence people travelled to other towns to access private healthcare at hospital level. On commencing operations in August 2014, Ondangwa Private Hospital was mainly by GPs with no specialists practicing at the hospital. The first specialist joined the hospital in December 2014.

Ondangwa Private Hospital has a number of departments and facilities in an effort to meet the needs of the community. The following is a breakdown of the facilities available at Ondangwa Private Hospital: 2 Operating Theatres; Radiology and Imaging; female ward; male ward; paediatric ward; maternity ward; intensive care unit (adult); neonatal intensive care unit; pharmacy; casualty and emergency department; and a laboratory.
