The WBCG Wellness Service is a flagship social development programme of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG), designed to integrate health and wellness interventions into transport and logistics corridors.

 

The service responds to the unique health risks faced by mobile and key populations who live and work along regional trade routes, ensuring that corridor development is inclusive, sustainable, and people-centred.

 

Since its establishment, the WBCG Wellness Service has evolved into a recognised partner of government and development institutions, delivering accessible, high-impact health services that support uninterrupted trade flows and workforce productivity.

 

Our Mandate

The mandate of the WBCG Wellness Service is to improve the health and wellbeing of mobile populations and corridor communities while supporting national and regional public health objectives. By embedding health services within transport corridors, the programme reduces barriers to care, strengthens prevention efforts, and contributes to healthier, more resilient logistics systems.

 

Who We Serve

The WBCG Wellness Service primarily serves:

  • Long-distance truck drivers and transport workers

  • Port, border post, and logistics personnel

  • Mobile populations and cross-border traders

  • Communities living along transport corridors

  • Key and vulnerable populations with limited access to healthcare

Service Delivery Model

The WBCG Wellness Service operates through a combination of:

  • Fixed roadside wellness clinics located at strategic corridor points

  • Mobile clinics that extend services to remote and high-traffic locations

  • Workplace wellness programmes integrated into infrastructure and logistics projects

This flexible model ensures continuity of care for mobile populations while adapting to changing corridor dynamics and emerging public health needs.

 

Regional Reach and Partnerships

The Wellness Service operates across Namibia and the broader SADC region through close collaboration with:

  • Ministries of Health and Social Services

  • Development partners and international donors

  • Transport and logistics companies

  • Corridor management institutions and border authorities

The programme has also supported regional emergency responses, including being the first NGO in Namibia to partner with government on COVID-19 testing and vaccination services.

 

Impact and Value

The WBCG Wellness Service contributes to:

  • Improved health outcomes for corridor users and communities

  • Reduced health-related disruptions to trade and logistics operations

  • Stronger public–private collaboration in health service delivery

  • Enhanced regional coordination on health and mobility issues

By addressing health as a critical component of corridor efficiency, the programme strengthens the long-term sustainability of regional trade routes.

 

Our Commitment

WBCG remains committed to expanding and strengthening the Wellness Service in line with evolving health challenges, regional integration efforts, and the needs of corridor users. Through innovation, partnerships, and data-driven programming, the Wellness Service continues to set a benchmark for integrating public health into transport and logistics development in Africa.
