Lady Pohamba Private Hospital is pleased to announce and congratulate Dr. Mike Alison on the successful launch of the Faraview and OPAL HDx 3D mapping system, which took place at the hospital on September 4, 2025. We were honoured to have Prof. Gabor Szeplaki, a specialist Electrophysiology Cardiologist and Head of Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Mater Private Hospital in Dublin, and Clinical Lead for the Arrhythmia Centre, support Dr. Alison during the launch of this groundbreaking new technology.

The Faraview Mapping system is a state-of-the-art computer platform that assists doctors in treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition where the heart beats with an irregular rhythm. The system works with a specialised catheter - a thin tube placed inside the heart - that can both record the heart’s electrical activity and deliver treatment. By creating a live 3D map of the heart, it allows doctors to see the exact areas causing the rhythm problem, ensuring safer, faster, and more precise treatment.

This advanced technology is now available to patients with atrial fibrillation at Lady Pohamba Private Hospital, following the successful completion of five Pulsed Field Ablation and integrated 3D mapping procedures. Pulsed Field Ablation represents a new generation of therapy that is both safer and more precise than traditional methods, significantly improving outcomes for patients.

As a quaternary hospital, Lady Pohamba Private Hospital continues to attract leading specialists and invest in world-class, specialised technology to advance patient care in Namibia.

We extend our congratulations to Dr. Alison and the entire electrophysiology team for their contributions to this significant milestone. Together, we remain committed to investing in the latest technology and delivering the highest quality clinical outcomes for our patients.

Pelvic pain is never normal.

Pelvic pain is not normal. Many cases are easy to treat, but complex cases require meticulous investigation, preferably by a doctor trained and experienced in Neuropelveology, and in the surgical treatments of pain. That pelvic pain can be treated. There have been life-changing advances in treatment of pelvic pain.

There is an emerging subspecialty field called Neuropelveology, which is focused on meticulous investigation and treatment of pelvic pain, end pelvic organ dysfunction.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶 𝗙𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼 – 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿

On a quiet day filled with uncertainty and hope, Baby Giovanni Fahad Shikongo entered the world far earlier than expected. Born at just 24 weeks, weighing only 600 grams, he was so tiny that his whole being could fit into the palms of loving hands. Yet, within that fragile body beat the heart of a true warrior.

For 94 days, the NICU at Lady Pohamba Private Hospital became his very first home. Every breath was a victory, every gram of weight gained a celebration, and every moment of progress a miracle. His journey was filled with challenges, but also with hope, determination, and the tireless care of his doctors and nurses.

Giovanni’s mommy was able to stay close by in the hospital, in the special lodging room designed for mothers of NICU babies. This closeness is scientifically proven to help both mommy and baby heal and thrive, giving little ones like Giovanni even more strength to fight.

Throughout his stay, Giovanni’s family never gave up hope. His big sister counted the days until she could finally meet her baby brother, waiting eagerly to hold him and welcome him home with daddy.

After more than 3 months of courage and miracles, Giovanni left the NICU today not as the fragile baby he once was, but as a strong and determined little boy. His story is a reminder that even the smallest beginnings can lead to the most extraordinary journeys, and that love, resilience, and hope are stronger than any challenge.

“As a family, we are deeply grateful to Dr Simon Emvula and Dr David Emvula, our gynaecologists, and Dr Yabwile Mulambia, our paediatric pulmonologist, for standing by us with unwavering care and compassion. To the NICU staff who walked this journey with us, thank you for doing everything possible to help our little boy and for embracing us as a family. We felt safe trusting you, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your grace, your kindness, and your dedication. We will visit again!”

Uncontrolled urine loss in women is not normal.

Many women feel that urinary incontinence is a normal part of ageing, or a normal consequence of childbirth. This is not true, and incontinence should always be investigated and can almost always be successfully treated. Treatment for female uncontrolled urine loss (incontinence) is not always surgery. It always depends on an accurate assessment and may involve medical treatment, specific physiotherapy and surgery in specific cases.

For more information, visit Dr Barry Richter (Urogynaecologist) in Windhoek at Demushuwa Suites Unit 8B 2nd floor, Lady Pohamba Private Hospital. Contact +264 83 725 1600/1 for an appointment.
