About NMS
Who we are
The Namibia Medical Society is a professional medical society in Namibia, established in 2008.
NMS exists to advance the medical profession and contribute to better healthcare in Namibia. The Society works at the intersection of professional representation, healthcare improvement, education, research, advocacy, collaboration and professional welfare.
It is a national organisation of medical professionals — not a hospital, practice or campaign body. Its work is institutional, professional and concerned with both the standing of the profession and the quality of care available to the public.
