I took part in the data collection process during a health review that was conducted by our ministry in April 2008. This exercise of reviewing the health system was the first step towards the compiling of the strategic plan. It enabled the ministry to identify crucial strategic issues on the ground and teams were send out into sampled areas in Namibia for data collection.
I happened to be the team leader of the team assigned for Kunene region. We stayed in the field for three weeks, doing face to face interviews with the community, focus group discussions and interviews with stakeholders.
It was very interesting to see with my own eyes what some communities in the most remote areas of our country are facing, like inproper or lack of sanitation facilities, bad roads, no television or radio coverage (Sesfontein), etc.
It is mentionable that despite difficulities faced by our personnel, some of them remains committed. Just wish to say to everyone out there, just be strong.
