Namibia’s health ministry is formally the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS). It runs Namibia’s public hospitals and clinics and has no role in South African healthcare.
The Ministry of Health and Social Services is based in Namibia, not in South Africa. This page sits in a South African directory because people search for it from here, but every number below is a Namibia number and calling it from South Africa is an international call.
This page covers how to contact the Ministry of Health and Social Services in Namibia. The details below were taken from the official Ministry of Health and Social Services contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not the Ministry of Health and Social Services and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
The Ministry of Health and Social Services contact numbers
We could not verify a contact number for Ministry of Health and Social Services. Its website at mhss.gov.na did not respond when we checked on 21 August 2026, so there was no official source to read a number from. That may be temporary, and it is worth trying the address yourself.
We have deliberately not published a number here. Numbers for Ministry of Health and Social Services do circulate on third-party directory sites, but we do not republish contact details we cannot confirm on an official source, and an unverified number is worse than none: it is exactly what impersonation relies on.
Self-service options before you call
- The official site at mhss.gov.na, which carries the current customer care details and any online enquiry form.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the organisation’s own complaints process first, keeping every reference number issued. The Ministry of Health and Social Services operates in Namibia, not in South Africa, so the South African escalation routes do not apply to it: ICASA, the sector ombud schemes and the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud have no authority over an organisation outside South Africa. An unresolved complaint has to be taken up with the relevant authority in Namibia, and we have not named one here because we could not verify its current contact details on an official source.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most consumer complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake The Ministry of Health and Social Services contact numbers
Contact details for well known organisations are a common target for impersonation, and a foreign organisation searched from South Africa is an easy target because few readers know what its real number looks like. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not the Ministry of Health and Social Services.
- Reach the Ministry of Health and Social Services through the official site at mhss.gov.na rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- the Ministry of Health and Social Services will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ministry of Health and Social Services contact number?
the Ministry of Health and Social Services does not publish a single national customer care number on its official contact page, so we have not published one. The official site at mhss.gov.na is the route to use.
How do I know a Ministry of Health and Social Services number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at mhss.gov.na. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not the Ministry of Health and Social Services, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
Calling Namibia from South Africa is an international call, billed at your operator’s international rate, and the + prefix must be dialled rather than a local 0. Check your plan before a long call, and consider the email or online route instead.
Contact routes on this page were checked against the official Ministry of Health and Social Services source on 21 August 2026. If you find a detail that has changed, the official source above is always the authority.
