WHY SHOULD THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY PARTAKE IN THIS INITIATIVE?

The increased demand caused by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, has urged the Namibian healthcare sector to come up with this innovative response. The benefits for the industry are as follows:


 • A risk pooling mechanism based on an equity enhancing / solidarity
    principle;
 • Reduces costs by utilizing a common administrative system;
 • Reduces costs and shares skilled knowledge resources by utilizing a
   shared Namibian disease management and information system;
 • Eliminates treatment variables by utilizing a standard set of
   treatment benefits across all participating funds / groups; and
 • Facilitates effective quality assurance of disease management by
   making use of standard treatment protocols, continuously geared
   towards optimum, cost-efficient treatment practices.
