The agreement will see the introduction of specialised training through a Master of Medicine (MMed) programme in pathology, alongside expanded specialisation opportunities for medical technologists and scientists.

The partnership is expected to strengthen Namibia’s diagnostic and research capabilities in what remains a largely under-resourced field.

Under the agreement, NIP and UNAM will jointly develop curricula, facilitate practical internships for medical students, promote collaborative research, upgrade technology, and support staff exchanges between the two institutions.

The MoU also places strong emphasis on capacity building to ensure that Namibian healthcare professionals are equipped with advanced skills in medical diagnostics and research.

NIP Chief Executive Officer, Kapena Tjombonde, and UNAM Vice Chancellor, Professor Kenneth Matengu, signed the agreement, both underscoring its potential to drive sustainable improvements in the country’s health sector.

“This collaboration not only elevates UNAM’s medical training capabilities but also paves the way for a postgraduate Pathology specialisation, designed to cultivate local expertise,” said Professor Matengu.

“We are determined to equip Namibian healthcare professionals with the skills needed to advance diagnostic and research capacities, directly benefiting public health outcomes nationwide.”

Tjombonde stressed the significance of the partnership in addressing gaps within Namibia’s healthcare system.

“Today’s agreement symbolises our firm commitment to building local capacity in pathology, a critical yet currently under-resourced field,” she said.

“This collaboration positions Namibia to sustainably develop and retain essential medical expertise, enabling advanced diagnostics and transformative healthcare for our nation.”

The partnership is seen as a key step in addressing skills shortages and improving Namibia’s ability to respond to public health needs through home-grown solutions.
