Namibia's health ministry just scored an extra N$184 million from the government, and they're using it to hire more than 2,000 healthcare workers. Health Minister Esperance Luvindao said the cash is meant to ease up crowding at hospitals around the country. Earlier this year, they figured out they needed over N$800 million total to bring on 2,035 people, but they only got N$150 million at first.

Most of the new money is going toward filling 1,713 clinical positions this year. Katatura Intermediate Hospital is getting 184 new staff members, and Windhoek Central Hospital is adding 98 more. Different regions are also getting nurses and doctors, with some hospitals bringing on specialists to beef up care.

The ministry said the hiring push will happen through budget savings and moving money around. Executive director Penda Ithindi called health workers the most valuable asset, and the government wants anyone qualified who's unemployed right now to apply.
