Namibian Oncology Centre · Windhoek, Namibia

A new chemotherapy facility in Windhoek needed a calm, low-maintenance AV system. We fitted background music, UHD TVs and Apple TV streaming, and finished on schedule on a live building site.

The setting

The Namibian Oncology Centre offers cancer treatment and care, with facilities in Windhoek and Swakopmund. In October 2024 it opened a new Chemotherapy Facility in Windhoek, with shared and private treatment areas. SAW Namibia won the AV work after being invited to tender.

The challenge

The centre wanted patients undergoing treatment to feel comfortable and occupied. It also wanted a modern system that staff could use easily, and that would last with little maintenance.

The building was still under construction. We had to fit the system around other trades and finish within the time frame.

What we did

We worked closely with Emcon Consulting Engineers and the construction team from Decora cc. Background music comes from an Audac All-in-One audio solution, with ceiling loudspeakers and an easy-to-use streaming module, in the reception waiting area.

UHD Smart TVs serve the shared treatment area, and each private treatment room has its own. Each screen has an individual Apple TV unit, so patients can stream what they like on demand.

The outcome

The facility opened with its AV system in place, and we completed the project on schedule. Patients now have music and entertainment during treatment, in a setting that supports their comfort.
