He obtained a Master’s Degree in political science from the University of Helsinki, Finland, and completed his degree in medicine at the same University. In the 1980’s he served as SWAPO Head of Military Medical Service among other numerous capacities.
Iyambo served the health, mines, safety and security, agriculture as well as veterans affairs’ ministries before being appointed as Vice President in March 2015.
