Namibia’s President Firmly Rejects Gates Foundation’s Proposal for Long-Term Hormonal IUD Trials

Zim Now Writer

Namibia’s President, Her Excellency Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, has decisively rejected a proposal from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to conduct trials of a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) intended to prevent pregnancy for up to eight years within Namibia.

In a powerful statement, President Nandi-Ndaitwah condemned the initiative as a serious injustice to both the Namibian people and humanity as a whole.

She emphasized:

"Namibia is a small nation, with a population just over 3 million. If any country should consider measures to control population growth, it is nations like the United States, which has over 347 million people. Any effort to restrict or suppress the growth of human potential in Namibia is a profound injustice to our people and their future."
