The use of information and communication technology for health service delivery in NamibiaShivute, Meke Iyaloo January 2007 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2007 / Understanding the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the Namibian's
health sector is important in the global information society It is not clear how ICT is being
deployed to support the delivery of health services to the Namibian patients. Health service
providers (HSP) in both private and pUblic health sector must be aware of ICT use patterns
because this may influence how they deliver services to their patients in the future. This
study thus seeks to investigate how ICT have been used in the delivery of health services to
patients in the Khomas and Oshana regions of Namibia.
Based on the literature review and data collected from the HSP and patients, a 'generic'
health service delivery landscape for Namibia was developed and regional landscapes for
the Khomas and Oshana regions were further derived from it. The landscapes depicted
health service provision to patients in the different health sectors in Namibia. After mapping
the health landscapes primary data was collected from the health service providers (HSP) in
private, mission and public health institutions using a questionnaire A second structured
questionnaire was administered on the patients A total of 21 and 134 HSP patients
respectively, responded to the survey questionnaire.
Results from the descriptive analysis indicate a relatively high ICT use by both HSP and
patients.

The impact of the community-based rehabilitation strategy on people with disabilities and their families : a case of the Oniipa Constituency, NamibiaMukumbuta, Christopher Lubinda 01 1900 (has links)
Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) emerged as a response to the failure of the conventional rehabilitation system in developing countries. CBR involves service provision to People with Disabilities (PWDs), changing community attitudes towards disability and transferring knowledge and skills to PWDs, their families and their community.
The study investigated the impact of the CBR strategy on PWDs and their families within the Oniipa Constituency in Namibia. The study used a mixed methods research approach and adopted explorative and descriptive research designs.
It determined that CBR has initiated positive change processes in community attitudes and increased social integration of PWDs. The study recommends reviewing the definition of CBR, providing financial incentives to CBR Volunteer Workers and reviewing the current legislations on disability in Namibia. A final recommendation is that government should formalise disability studies in the country through the provision of accredited training courses to ensure greater assistance to PWDs and their families. / Public Administration / M.P.A.
