Hileni Ondongo discusses living in the nurses’ homes near Windhoek Central Hospital

[PODCAST]

The nurses’ homes near Windhoek Central Hospital are not well.

Once a thriving and diverse community of health professionals that included medical in terns, doctors, pharmacists, radiologists, and contract specialists, the four buildings are tall, dilapidated, and almost vacant shadows of their former selves.

As the state-owned flats fall deeper into disrepair, some tenants are being moved—and others are being pushed out. But Hileni says this isn’t just about housing. It’s about justice. And the right to be treated with dignity by a system you served.

That’s the reality facing Hileni Indongo, a nurse and former tenant at the nurses’ homes near Windhoek Central Hospital.
