Namibia hosts workshop on health care access to LGBTQ+ community

FILE - People hold banners in support of LGBTQ+ rights outside the Namibian high court, which made a landmark ruling in favor of LGBTQ+ communities in Windhoek on June 21, 2024. Advocates say people who identify as LGBTQ+ have difficulty getting health care in Namibia.

Namibians who are part of the LGBTQ+ community often find it difficult to get decent health care and many report discriminatory practices within the health care system.
