What’s one thing you’d do this weekend if screens didn’t exist?
📸 Show us your weekend without screens — books, hikes, naps, or cloud-staring welcome!

Friday’s prescription from me: Digital Detox (Rx #404 – Device Not Found) to all who diagnosed with Chronic screenfatigue, Scroll thumb syndrome, Phantom notification disorder, Compulsive refreshing of apps, Inability to sit still without checking something.
Duration: 48 hours

💡 Reason for Detox: Your gadgets are clingier than your ex. Constant pings, endless feeds, and dopamine hits from likes are frying your neurons. Your brain needs a breather.

Preparation:
• Warn your contacts: “Going offline. If it’s urgent, send smoke signals.”
• Set an auto-reply: “Currently detoxing from the digital world. Back soon with clearer thoughts.”
• Rename your Wi-Fi. Change it to: “Don’tEvenThinkAboutIt” or “OfflinePalace” to guilt-trip yourself into staying unplugged.
• Hide your phone in a sock drawer. Lock the drawer. Swallow the key (just kidding).

If you feel the urge to check your phone: do 10 jumping jacks. You’ll forget what you wanted to check.

Side Effects:
• Peace
• Clarity
• Rediscovery of hobbies
• Sudden bursts of joy

💬 Doctor’s Note: Your phone will miss you. Your brain will thank you.

But if it’s a little more realistic, then host a “No-Tech Picnic”: invite friends. Phones go in a basket. First one to reach for theirs has to do the dishes.

We touch on a story that affects more than 300,000 Namibians – civil servants and their families who rely on the Public Service Medical Aid Scheme, or PSEMAS, for their healthcare needs.

A looming crisis is unfolding, as private doctors continue to withdraw from PSEMAS, citing outdated tariffs, rising operational costs, and what some are calling ‘regulatory paralysis’. According to the Namibia Private Practitioners Forum NPPF, the scheme is heading toward collapse unless urgent reforms are introduced.

CEO of the NPPF, Dr. Jürgen Hoffmann, speaks to Desert FM about the challenges faced by healthcare professionals.

From the 4th of August, the Ministry of Health and Social Services will make the vaccines available in all health facilities across the country. The vaccine, which is for girls between the ages of 9-14, is one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer.

UNICEF has been supporting the Ministry of Health and Social Services with the development of IEC materials, currently being used in all community engagements and social media platforms. UNICEF will be on the ground to support the Ministry of Health and Social Services' monitoring efforts while advocating for more girls to be vaccinated.
