The
University of Namibia has just announced a new course in its university program
that would allow people to specialize and become anesthetists. This is the
first time the specialty is available in Namibia.
Anesthetists are vitally important
medical professionals in charge of administering anesthetic for medical
procedures and surgery. The new specialty could critically transform medical
care in Namibia by promoting the increase of the number of anesthetists in the
country which currently has acute shortages. These shortages have lead to long
waiting lists for surgical procedures and inadequate pain management for patients.
The first six students have just started the new Masters in Anesthesia program
which was created in partnership with Cardiff University in Wales, United
Kingdom.
