Onandjokwe Medical Museum

Onandjokwe Medical Museum was opened at the hospital on 22 March 2013. There are permanent exhibitions which feature the history of the hospital during the liberation struggle. A highlight is the Traditional Medicine Garden which shows the use of plants as medicines. In 1911 Dr Selma Rainio, a Finnish medical officer, established the Onandjokwe (Lutheran) Hospital, the first in the north of Namibia. During the liberation struggle, it was the only institution in the region to have supplied an intensive care unit (ICU) for its patients.
