Abstract:
Globally cancer of the breast is a challenge, and in Namibia it ranks the third common type of cancer. The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness and perception of women of reproductive age (15-49) regarding breast cancer at Okuryangava clinic. Ethical clearance for the study was obtained from the Ministry of Health and Social Services of Namibia and the University of Namibia research ethical committee. Qualitative and exploratory study design was conducted. After obtained the written consent from participants, data were collected among 10 women with interview guide through face to face interview. The sample size was determined by data saturation. Data were analyzed according to Tesch’s eight steps of data analyses that led to the formation of themes and sub themes. The study found out that majority of women at Okuryangava clinic had awareness about breast cancer. Women had different perception about breast cancer, some believe that breast cancer is curable while others perceive it as a fatal disease. The study also found that participants have knowledge on breast cancer risk factors which may assist in preventive measuresand awareness. The study recommends that the Ministry of Health and Social Services of Namibia should ensure conducting an awareness campaigns to educate the community regarding breast cancer.

This article focuses on the paradigmatic perspective facilitate the development of a quality improvement training programme for health professionals in the ministry of health and social services in Namibia. The study of this nature requires a paradigmatic perspective; this is a collection of logically linked concepts and propositions that provide a theoretical perspective or orientation that tends to guide the research approach to a specific. Assumptions are useful in directing research decisions during the research process.The study adopted a constructivism and interpretivism approach, since it involved understand the current situation of quality health care/service delivery at health care facilities, and explore and describe the of the health professionals; experiences at the health care facilities. The study was based on the specific information that was accepted as true, as obtained from those lived the experiences of challenges and constraints of providing quality health care at the health care facilities.The paradigm perspectives in this study include Meta – theoretical assumption which consisted ontological, epistemological, axiological, methodological and rhetorical assumptions. Theoretical basis of the study includes Dickoff (1968), Practice Oriented Theory; Programme development by Meyer and Van Niekerk; Kolb’s Theory of experiential learning; Demining’s model of quality improvement, Quality improvement policy of the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) and Centre for Diseases control (CDC) framework for programme education.

Abstract:
Voluntary Counselling and Testing is one of the strategies to respond to the increasing number of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) new infections. The purpose of this study was to assess the current status of HIV Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) in Rundu urban and identify the barriers to fully effective service.The objectives of the study was to identify the barriers that prevents effective HIV Voluntary Counselling and testing services; asses its success and determine its status in urban, Namibia. A qualitative explorative and descriptive design was employed in this study where all health care and HIV/AIDS professionals including hospital nurses, employees and New Start VCT Centres, and representatives from relevant NGOs, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS)providing Voluntary Counselling services in Rundu urban in Namibia were interviewed. In this study, in depth individual interview structured in accordance with interview guide was used. Content analysis method was employed to analyze the data. Themes that emerged from this study includes: Fear of a positive results (stigma that accompanies seropositivity) and lacks of perceived benefit to getting tested. In addition, financial barriers affecting the poorest populations in Rundu. To increase access and relevance of VCT services, it is recommended that the Ministry of Health and Social Services should develop more detailed counselling guidelines and increase the scope of counselling by addressing the inadequacies of current risk reduction. Despite these hopeful possibilities a number of barriers remains before VCT can be fully effective.

Abstract:
The paper describes the steps followed in the development of a quality improvement training programme for health professionals. This was echoed by the facts that the health professionals are facing in their quest for quality health care delivery. In Namibia, most health care facilities have not been yielding good results in response to patients’ health care needs. Health care dynamics are complex and inundated with several factors; among others new methods, speed of improving medical science and technology, as well as increasing demands of the clients to address emerging and re-emerging diseases.In order to achieved that the five phases of programme development by Meyer and Van Niekerk (2008) were modified to facilitate the programme development. Quality improvement training for health professionals. Those five phases were situational analysis; conceptual framework; developing of the training programme; development of the guidelines for the implementation; and Evaluation of training programme.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to describe the quality improvement training programme for health professionals in the Ministry of Health and Social Services in Namibia. The Practice Oriented Theory of Dickoff (1968) was used as practical guidelines to develop the conceptual framework. This framework was employed during the research and the educational programme development process. During the research process, the agent was the researcher; recipients (Managers/leadership and health professionals); the context (MoHSS head office and healthcare facilities); dynamics (findings for objective one and two); Procedure (research process) and terminus (foundations for development of educational programme). For the educational programme developing process, agent (quality specialist), recipients (health professional), context (health facilities), procedure (training programme for health professionals), dynamics, (challenges hampering successful implementation of the programme) and the terminus (knowledge, skills and abilities acquired through the training programme). During the development of the quality improvement training programme, two main theories were adapted. The most prominent one was a model by Meyer and Van Niekerk (2008), which was adapted to guide the process of developing the training programme. Kolb’s experiential learning theory was used to explain the learning process and styles of developing knowledge through experiences.The content of the training programme was derived from five main themes, 17 sub-themes and the conceptual framework based on the situation analysis about challenges faced by the health care facilities. The five themes were lack of implementation of policies and guidelines; inadequate resources; lack of interpersonal relationships; inadequate understanding of quality assurance and quality improvement; and inadequate research to provide evidence-based information during treatment and patient care.The educational programme consisted of the purpose / aim, objectives, structure / design, facilitation process, implementation process, and evaluation of the programme.

This article describe the process followed by the researcher in the development of the conceptual framework for a quality improvement training programme for health professionals in the Ministry of Health and Social Services in Namibia. The conceptual framework of this study was based on the Practice Orientated Theory of Dickoff (1968) that assisted with explaining the concepts used in developing the quality improvement training programme for health professionals at the health facilities. Dickoff’ s (1968) practice orientated theory consists of the agent, recipients, context, procedure, dynamics, and the terminus. In this study, the agent was a quality specialist, the recipients were health professionals, the context was the health facilities, the dynamics were challenges that health professionals were experiencing; the procedure was the training programme, while the terminus was knowledgeable and skillful health professionals in quality health care delivery.

Abstract:
This paper is focuses on the description of the guidelines for implantation of a quality improvement training programme for health professionals. The formulation of the guidelines also borrowed the CDC (2001) steps and UNFPA phases of developing the guidelines for successful implementation of the training programme at the health care facilities in the MoHSS. The facilitator(s) and implementers of the training programme are advised to first understand the background and the development process of the training programme for successful implementation. These guidelines have been developed to assist quality manager(s) and facilitator(s) with the implementation of the quality improvement training programme for health professionals at the health care facilities (MoHSS).The guidelines enhance consistency in steps and methods to be followed during the implementation of the programme. The guidelines were derived from the conceptual framework that was developed during the exploratory and situation analysis of quality health care delivery at the health care facilities. Two prominent theories were adapted in developing these guidelines. Firstly, Deming’s PDSA model of quality improvement and secondly, Kolb’s experiential learning theory. These theories were used to understand the teaching and learning styles. The guidelines outlined the process, activities, and elements required to implement the such programme.

Abstract:
This research aims to explore the staff remembers satisfaction level with strategic decisions implementation in the three intermediate public hospitals in Namibia. Reviewing the literature, 27 variables were identified. The items were then reduced using exploratory factor analysis, which is evaluated using Principal Axis Factoring with Direct Oblimin rotation. Using exploratory factor analysis, variables were categorized into 5 implementation perspectives. This model, in the order of effect, identified Service Provision with a predictor importance of (0.79), Human Resources Management (0.07), Governance (0.06), Financial Management (0.05) while, the Infrastructure Development and Management with predictor importance of (0.03) is the least important. This implies that the Service Provision theme is perceived by the MoHSS staff as having the largest impact of implementation satisfaction and quality of service perceptions at the three intermediate public hospitals. The radar chart also shows that the respondents perceived levels of satisfaction with strategy implementation is rated less than desired levels (yellow) of implementation superiority. The only item perceived to perform better than minimum level (blue) is related infrastructures development and management (IDM-2), Improve health facilities to be responsive to emerging needs’’. This implies that the strategic plans implementation level failed to meet the minimum satisfaction level of the operational staff and hospitals management teams. This further implied that top management shall be recognized that operational staff and hospitals management teams can turn strategic plan implementation into success.

Abstract:
The Government of Republic of Namibia through the services rendered by the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) continues to provide various free health services including contraceptives to its citizens. Nevertheless, several challenges related to unplanned pregnancies among tertiary student’s remains a challenge, which includes poor reproductive health status, socio-economic consequences rapid-population growth, rural-urban migration of youths accompanied by proliferation of informal settlements around cities, high youth unemployment and crime. This requires institutions of higher learning to establish which strategies are likely to address these problems of unplanned pregnancies among tertiary students. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the contributing factors to pregnancies amongst tertiary students at a selected satellite campus in order to make recommendations to the University of Namibia (UNAM). 
 
 An exploratory, descriptive and qualitative design was used. The study was contextual in nature. A convenient sampling was used. The data were collected through three focus-group discussions with 19 students from the three faculties namely: Education, Health Sciences and Management Sciences. Data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis. Strategies to ensure trustworthiness and ethical implementation of the study were implemented. It became evident from the study findings that factors which are contributing to pregnancies, as evidenced by the four emerged themes namely: Personal factors, institutional related factors and improvements measures. This study has implications for higher education institutions in terms of promoting sexual and reproductive health information and increasing access to a range of contraceptive methods of campus which are key in the prevention of pregnancies among tertiary students. Participants in this study recommended that peer educators and students counsellor within the campus should be used as a vehicle to provide support and guidance to students on reproductive health choices.

Abstract:
Information systems are the key to institution organization and decision making. In the health care field, there is a lot of data flow, from the patient demographic information (through the electronic medical records), the patient's medication dispersal methods called pharmaceutical data, laboratory data to hospital organization information such bed allocation. Healthcare information system is a system that manages, store, transmit and display healthcare data. Most of the healthcare data in Namibia are unstructured, there is a heterogeneous environment in which different health information systems are distributed in different departments [1][2]. A lot of data is generated but never used in decision-making due to the fragmentation. The integration of these systems would create a flood of big data into a centralized database. With information technology and new generation networks becoming a called for innovations in every day's operations, the adaptations of accessing big data through information applications and systems in an integrated way will facilitate the performances of practical work in health care. The aim of this dissertation is to find a way in which these vertical Health Information System can be integrated into a unified system. A prototype of a back-end system is used to illustrate how the present healthcare systems that are in place with the Ministry of Health and Social Service facilities in Namibia, can be integrated to promote a more unified system usage. The system uses other prototypes of subsystems that represent the current systems to illustrate how they operate and, in the end, how the integration can improve service delivery in the ministry. The proposed system is expected to benefit the ministry in its daily operations as it enables instant authorized access to data without passing through middlemen. It will improve and preserve data integrity by eliminating multiple handling of data through a single data admission point. With one entry point to the systems, manual work will be reduced hence also reducing cost. Generally, it will ensure efficiency and then increase the quality of service provided.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which human resources capacity of the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS), Namibia, influences health care services delivery to the Namibian population. A qualitative research model using exploratory and descriptive study designs was adopted. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 46 health workers from two referral hospitals and two directorates in Windhoek District. The study found that there is severe staff shortage in the MoHSS, which has resulted in high workload and poor health care. Health worker migration, new services and programmes, emerging diseases, and population growth were reported to have contributed to staff shortage and high workload in the MoHSS. Study findings suggested a need to create more posts to accommodate emerging needs, and to introduce an effective retention strategy to attract and retain health professionals with scarce skills, and those working under difficult conditions.<br>Public Administration & Management<br>M.

Abstract:
Statistics on HIV/AIDS are alarming. Very little is known about how communities are actually coping with this disease and what methods seem to be working to empower them to deal with it. Psychosocial distress is one of the dimensions of the impact of AIDS on children and families, and stresses the necessity to enhance the capacities of extended families and friends to be able to deal with these psychosocial issues. Using qualitative research and a case study as the strategy of inquiry, this dissertation of limited scope explores and describes the factors influencing the capacity of extended families in providing psychosocial support to AIDS orphans. A literature study was done to give a theoretical overview on the following aspects: * AIDS orphans * The extended family and HIV/AIDS To reach the first objective of this study, an empirical study was done and semi-structured interviews were used to obtain information from four extended families in the Mukwe area of the Kavango Region in Namibia. The literature study and the empirical study enabled the researcher to draw conclusions on the factors which influence the capacity of extended families to provide psychosocial support to AIDS orphans. The information was analysed, interpreted and published in this research report so as to reach the other objectives of this study.<br>Social Work<br>M. Diac. (Play therapy)

Abstract:
Primary health care is an approach adopted for the delivery of health services to the Namibian population. In terms of this approach, these services are made universally available, accessible, affordable, acceptable, and appropriate to meet the needs of communities. The health care delivery system in Namibia comprises services provided by both the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) and the private sector. In addition to these services, some people consult traditional health care providers. All in all, health care comprises a combination of promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services. In addition to government funding, donations and technical support are also provided by non-governmental organisations. The MoHSS health care delivery system is coordinated at national, regional and district levels. This chapter elaborates on the Namibian health care delivery system, the structure and functions of each coordinating level, primary health care services in Namibia, as well as successes and challenges experienced.

Abstract:
In this chapter, the authors describe the essential need of mental health and psychosocial support for people accommodated in mandatory quarantine and isolation facilities during the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in Namibia through a multi-sectoral response. Namibia recorded its first two index cases on 13 March 2020 when a married couple arrived in the Windhoek district in Namibia from Madrid, Spain on 11 March 2020. Namibia has since March 2020 provided supervised quarantine services to 12,128 persons in facilities around the country. The Ministry of Health and Social Services provides mental health and psychosocial support services, which were critical in the short and long-term response to COVID-19 pandemic. Public health measures were developed in line with WHO guidelines to contain the virus. These measures include the need of setting up quarantine and isolation facilities. Recommendations for future research in strengthening mental health and psychosocial support services and coping strategies are provided in the chapter.

The use of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp has become an integral part of everyday communication in Zimbabwe. These platforms allow libraries and librarians to work collaboratively. Anchored on the diffusion of technology theory, this chapter analyzed the availability of social media in the Ministry of Health and Child Care Library, Ministry of Environment Library, Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development Library, and Zimbabwe National Statistical Agency Library. The researcher interviewed six library professionals and found out that government librarians are using social media platforms to promote access to information and support freedom of information. The study noted that government libraries are still facing challenges such as lack of administrative support and lack of clear collaboration policies. These challenges are affecting collaboration initiatives. Accordingly, the researcher recommended managers to support their libraries with financial resources if government librarians are to effectively apply social media in their work areas.

Abstract:
The monograph provides a comparative analysis of the medical and demographic situation in Ukraine in recent years: population, birth and death rates, natural increase (decrease) in citizens, average life expectancy at birth, disability, morbidity. Also, an analysis of the Human Development Index in Ukraine and other countries according to the UN (2018) is carried out. From the investigation of the report of statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on the structure of hospitalized patients in hospitals of Ukraine for 2019 adult population among all diseases: the first place has occupied by diseases of the circulatory system – 23.19% (including coronary heart disease – 10.93%, cerebrovascular diseases – 5.95%, angina – 4.02%), second place-diseases of the digestive system – 9.07%, third place belongs to tumors – 8.96%, fourth place respiratory diseases – 8.04%. At the same time, the state of mental health of the population of Ukraine is not insignificant, and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in 2019, cerebral and behavioral disorders amounted to 4.54% and diseases of the nervous system – 4.16%. The average length of stay of adult patients in psychiatric institutions is from 33.3 to 48.7 days in Ukraine compared to European countries in Lithuania up to 20.8 days, in the Republic of Poland up to 20.3 days. In Ukraine, the treatment of patients with mental disorders and behavior remained as in Soviet times, the Semashko health care model, the priority of inpatient treatment in the old premises that have been building in the XVIII-XIX centuries, and therefore there is a crisis in the field of mental health and mental health. The reform of mental health facilities in European countries has been completing in 2000, and they have moved to a multidisciplinary model for the treatment of the mentally ill. For people with changes in mental health, new Mental Health Centers have been building, and the old premises of psycho-neurological hospitals have been reconstructing for comfortable stay of patients, creation of "therapeutic, healing environment" for quick marriage, return of patients to society. A comparative description of the provision of medical workers in the field of health care in Ukraine with similar indicators of the EU countries is provided. The study aims to analyze the ways of reform in the EU and Ukraine, to show mistakes in the incomplete health care reform of Ukraine and examples of overcoming the crisis and improving the mental health of the population as in European countries. Ukraine should learn from the experience of other European countries by increasing funding for health care and prevention measures to reduce disease and improve the mental health of the population. One way to overcome the crisis is to have a strong link between the various Ministries of Social Policy, Health to provide timely health care to vulnerable populations and to stratify socio-demographic and lifelong mental health indicators as in the EU. It is possible to strengthen the mental health care system through highly institutionalized services to public/religious organizations that are more person/ patient-oriented.

Abstract:
In home healthcare (HHC) services, patients receive coordinated medical care at home based on previous medical prescriptions. Given geographical dispersion of patients and medical staff within an urban area, the design, provision, and control of HHC service delivery imply a set of complex logistics capabilities that impact service quality. Consequently, the maturity of such capabilities is a key factor to guarantee that patients receive the prescribed medical attention, by the right medical staff, at the right time, and at the right place. Thereby, this chapter presents and assessment of the logistics capabilities maturity of HHC providers certified by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection to provide HHC services in the metropolitan area of the second largest city in Colombia. Results show that an average maturity level of 3.2/5.0 for logistics processes, and 4.0/5.0 for service processes, evidence the need to improve service delivery.

Early child development is related to early education, health, nutrition, and psychosocial development; therefore, the holistic concept of early approach combines elements from the area of stimulation of the child, health, nutrition, speech therapy, psychological counselling, physical development support, etc. The need for the development of integrated early education services and their extension to the area of 0-3 years are priorities of the European strategies assumed through a complex of educational policy measures, having as a priority the development of quality early education services for the benefit of all prerequisites for lowering the schooling rate (Strategy for early childhood education, Strategy for parental education, Strategy for reducing early school leaving in Romania, Study on the evaluation of public policies in the field of early childhood education - Saber Early Childhood). In this context of the development of early childhood education, numerous inequalities are identified in the implementation of European and national strategies and programs in the development of early childhood education services, supported by economic, political, social factors, etc. In order to make them compatible at European level, we consider it necessary to support training and development programs for staff providing educational services in early childhood education institutions. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge the opinion of the bodies with attributions in the pre-kindergarten and preschool education in Romania, as well as of the civil society and public opinion, as a prerequisite for identifying school policy measures and developing programs for training the teaching staff so as to be able to provide educational services in early childhood education (representatives responsible for early childhood education in school inspectorates and Houses of the Teaching Staff, teaching staff in preschool educational institutions, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, representatives of the Social Assistance Directorate, managers of nursery schools, representatives of NGOs and other categories of organizations with experience in the field, parents and interested representatives of the civil society and public opinion). The present study is a qualitative research based on the focus-group method, but also a quantitative research by using the questionnaire-based survey, being carried out on a representative sample of 100 persons (2 focus-group of 25 persons, respectively 50 persons involved in the survey-based questionnaire). The conclusions of this study highlight the need to restructure the system of early childhood education in Romania through interventions at the legislative level and ensure a unitary system of policy and intervention in early childhood education. Also, we believe it is imperative to reorganize the training system of the human resource, by developing complementary competences of the teaching staff, adapted to the training needs of the early childhood population, ensuring a valuable inclusive and integrated intervention.

Abstract:
The Division of Reproductive Health (DSR) of the Senegal Ministry of Health and Social Action, in partnership with the Population Council’s FRONTIERS in Reproductive Health program and Management Sciences for Health (MSH), conducted a study to test and compare three ways of providing reproductive health services to rural communities in the Kébémer district of Senegal in terms of their effectiveness, cost, and cost-effectiveness. FRONTIERS and MSH collaborated with the DSR to design the interventions, MSH supported the DSR in implementing the interventions, and FRONTIERS undertook the evaluation. This study, funded by USAID, responded to the recommendations of a 1999 workshop, organized by FRONTIERS and the DSR, on the community-based distribution (CBD) approach, which defined alternative CBD models appropriate for Senegal. The DSR sees the development of community-based service delivery models as essential for the future of health care in Senegal. As noted in this report, the general objective of the study was to contribute to the development of an integrated cost-effective program to increase the accessibility and availability of reproductive health information and services in rural areas of Senegal.
