Statutory council
Health Professions Council of Namibia
The Health Professions Council of Namibia registers and regulates health professionals through five professional boards, keeps public e-registers of registered practitioners, and investigates complaints from the public about a practitioner's conduct.
Who it registers
- Medical and dental practitioners
- Pharmacy professionals and pharmacy businesses
- Allied health professionals
- Nurses
- Social workers and psychologists
Concerns and complaints
Complaints about a registered practitioner’s conduct must be in writing, addressed to the Registrar of the relevant board, and signed, with the practitioner’s name if known, where and when it happened, and your contact details. The HPCNA does not award compensation, and conduct by someone who is not registered should be reported to the Namibian Police.
