Elderly care legislation

ANONYMOUS WRITES:

Dear Namibians

Namibia judicial system does not have an Elderly Act to protect our elderly loved ones. Please ensure that you do your research when you place your elders into care facilities. The place should have a registered licence number, Health Professional Council Number (HPCNA) of registered nurse or nurses on duty. They should be on site. No medication can be stopped, without the notification of a Medical Registered Doctor.
