Why TKMOAMS?
Namibia has a national HIV infection rate of 19.9%. The Four regions
in which TKMOAMS currently operates has some of the highest HIV infection
rates in Namibia: Oshana 27%, Ohangwena 27%, and Omusati 21.1%, Oshikoto
23.7 this is according to Ministry of Health and Social Services, 2006
sentinel survey. Such figures indicate that hospital based health care
services are struggling to cope with the number of people being admitted
with HIV related illness. There is a shortage of staff at hospitals/clinics,
whilst existing staff are getting sick and are dying as well. Many people
in both urban and rural communities are sick and need to be cared for. |
