Even from the skies, Okavango�s poverty is clear

MAUN: Health services facilities in the Okavango sub-district are in dire straits and in urgent need of attention, if the revelations made during a recent SADC military operation in the area are anything to go by.

Exercise Blue Okavango, carried out in July, was conducted to train SADC air forces and enhance their readiness to offer humanitarian services by air. Joining the media team covering the exericise, I had the opportunity to experience first-hand the much-talked about poverty in the sub-district as well as the poor health service delivery.
