\u201cThe Ministry of Health and Social Services is deeply committed to the continuous improvement, modernisation, and enhancement of healthcare services in Namibia. Our vision is clear\u2014to be the leading provider of healthcare and social services that meet and exceed internationally recognised standards. This is not merely an aspiration; it is a commitment that drives every initiative, every policy, and every action we undertake,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made these remarks at the Quality Management Conference taking place in Windhoek, under the theme, \u201cBeyond the Blueprint: Transforming Policy into Quality Practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Shangula revealed that the purpose of the three-day conference is to provide a platform for the ministry to reflect on existing policies and strategies, particularly the National Quality Policy and Strategy (NQPS), launched in September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe NQPS is not just a document; it is a commitment\u2014a commitment to ensuring that the provision of quality healthcare services becomes the driving force, the norm, the standard, and not the exception in our healthcare delivery system,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister highlighted that the NQPS underscores the importance of knowledge management as a cornerstone for the effective implementation of the ministry\u2019s interventions. He added that the ministry has, for several years, implemented Quality Improvement collaboratives with development cooperation partners, specifically those focused on addressing gaps in HIV care as well as maternal and newborn health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDeveloping these quality management frameworks is only the beginning. The true test of the effectiveness or success of our policies lies in their implementation and the impacts that we are able to make,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
