The congress held on Saturday, allowed delegates to reflect on their role in creating Namibia’s healthcare future, according to Armid Azadeh, Chief Executive of the Medical Association of Namibia, in a media statement issued on Tuesday.
The two-day event brought together more than 250 healthcare professionals, top specialists, and notable researchers from Namibia and beyond to stimulate collaboration, share knowledge, and support medical achievements.
Held under the theme, ‘Medicine today into tomorrow’, the congress stimulated thought-provoking conversations and debates on a range of critical issues impacting the medical fraternity.
