WRAD Event: “Big Walk” in Namibia and Other WRAD Programs

Windhoek Central Hospital 

On 29 August 2025, the healthcare team at Windhoek Central Hospital in Namibia hosted health sciences students (particularly in biology and physics) from the National University of Science and Technology to give them a tour of the department and demystify the subject of radiotherapy to them.

Following this event, on the 4th of September 2025, they partnered with International University Management (IUM) in Namibia to facilitate a lecture for nursing staff and students at the institution. The aim was to introduce them to the subject of radiotherapy, answer questions and promote WRAD_Namibia 2025.

Finally, they had their ultimate program, the “Big Walk” (a branded walk for Radiotherapy Awareness), on the 6th of September 2025. Attendance was over 100, with support from local schools, cancer survivors and former radiotherapy patients, corporates, the Ministry of Health and Social Services of Namibia, Cancer Association of Namibia, the City Council and the general public. Feedback from the walk shows that attendees learned a lot about radiotherapy and they were glad to have attended the program.
