Popular Democratic Movement member of parliament Winnie Moongo has raised concern over the mushrooming of unchecked health training institutions in the country. Her motion follows recent reports of unaccredited health institutions providing training to students who end up wasting their time and money because such qualifications are of no use. Moongo will this week table a motion that seeks to investigate the current state of health training institutions in Namibia, with specific focus on the rapid mushrooming of such institutions across the country. “The investigation will examine the standard and quality of health training and education being offered, assess the relevance and alignment of academic programmes with the actual demands and requirements of the job market, and evaluate whether graduates are being adequately prepared for professional practice,” she says. This was revealed by parliament on Monday, as the eighth National Assembly resumes on Tuesday after being in recess. The motion further calls for a thorough review of the criteria and processes currently employed by the Namibia Qualifications Authority and the Health Professions Councils of Namibia in the accreditation of health-related programmes. The aim is to ensure that these regulatory frameworks are robust, transparent and uphold the integrity and quality of Namibia’s healthcare education system. The motion is in two-fold: first, to sound the alarm on the unchecked mushrooming of health training institutions, and second, to critically reconsider and reform the accreditation mechanisms that permit such mushrooming – so as to protect the public and preserve professional standards while ensuring the credibility of the health sector. The mover proposes that the motion be referred to the relevant parliamentary standing committee for further investigations and a report.
