Nedbank Namibia Supports Steps2Walk Programme to Improve Mobility Care

WINDHOEK – Nedbank Namibia has thrown its weight behind the Steps2Walk programme, a specialised initiative providing foot and ankle care to children and adults while offering vital training to healthcare professionals in Namibia and the wider region.

The bank joined the programme’s information session at Lady Pohamba Private Hospital on Friday, 19 June, as part of its commitment to initiatives that improve lives. The 2026 programme ran from 15 to 19 June at Lady Pohamba Private Hospital and Windhoek Central Hospital, with patients selected from all 14 regions of the country.

Rosy Eixas, Senior Manager of Premium Banking at Nedbank Namibia, said the bank’s involvement reflects its support for programmes that create meaningful change.

This year’s programme brought together international faculty and delegates from Namibia and the SADC region, with surgeries supported by case reviews, live visual screening and direct engagement between visiting specialists and local healthcare professionals.

Steps2Walk founder Dr Mark Myerson said the medical outcome for 2026 included 57 surgeries performed, with 12 patients requiring procedures on both feet. He emphasised that access to this kind of care remains critical in Namibia. “No one with deformity of the foot and ankle should be allowed to suffer in Namibia because we can provide that care,” he said.

Steps2Walk plans to return to Namibia in 2027, continuing a model that combines specialist surgery with local training so that care can continue after each programme ends.

Language Corner returns with Mr. Roderick April, Head of the Writing Unit at CLC, to discuss whether grammar apps and spell-checkers are helping us write better or making us lazy writers. His verdict: these tools are great helpers but they are not teachers. The best writers still know the rules even when the tools are turned off. Tune in every Tuesday at 08:45 for more language insights on IUM Radio.
