WINDHOEK, Aug. 18 – More than 700 boys aged 10 and above in the
Zambezi region have been circumcised under a national voluntary medical
male circumcision campaign launched by health authorities, said Martin
Likando, health officer at the Zambezi Regional Health Directorate, 1,000
kilometers from Namibian capital, Windhoek.
“This was achieved during the school holiday voluntary medical male
circumcision outreach program we conducted,” said Likando on Wednesday.
Records of the Ministry of Health and Social Services shows that in 2014,
the Zambezi region has the highest HIV prevalent rate of 23.7 percent,
which represents about 45,000 infected with the virus. About 215,000 people
in Namibia are infected with HIV.According to Likando, a variety of
interventions including Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision has contributed
to a significant reduction of infections.”We therefore plan to reach out to
as many men as possible and circumcise 3,000 men in the region as studies
by the World Health Organization has shown that circumcision reduces the
risk of HIV infection by 60 percent.,” he said. Meanwhile, the countrywide
Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision campaign targets to have 20,000 men
circumcised this year alone. This is in addition to a figure of 16,341 men
circumcised since May 2014. – XINHUA
