So, the solution the university proposed for this is to pioneer state-of-the-art medical infrastructure,\u201d she observed.<\/p>\n<p>Bock said the university hospital will conduct applied and basic scientific research based on Namibia\u2019s health challenges, and will use cutting-edge technology and therapies.<\/p>\n<p>The expected impact is improving healthcare standards, skills development and employment-creation, as well as increased community health services through outreach programmes and advanced medical research technology, innovation and medical services\u2019 specialisation.<\/p>\n<p>The strategic development projects\u2019 booklet issued here stated that the total estimated cost for the construction of the academic hospital is N$1 972 065 233 (USD 105 065 420).<\/p>\n<p>At the same event, UNAM\u2019s Vice Chancellor Kenneth Matengu said the foundation aims to promote and facilitate the development and achievement of higher education objectives as a non-profit organisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo achieve this, we need support, which includes investing in UNAM through the foundation. No support is ever too little; every donation has the potential to make an immense impact,\u201d he emphasised. -Nampa<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
