Some of the data and statistics are confidential or proprietary or not sufficiently "clean" that they can be made publicly or widely available. However, the various units at MHSS that routinely gather, process, and report data, statistics, and information expect to make it available on here on the MHSS Web site.
NOTE: It is expected that data will be available at least as dBASE
files, and, probably, as MS Excel
(*.xls, Version 4 to accommodate users who may not have the most current
software). All data files will be ZIPped
to speed downloading. Any documents that are necessary to explain file names,
field names, limitations to the data, etc., will be MS Word
files (saved in Version 5 format), and will be included in the ZIP files.
Check back from time to time to see what data is available.
The 20-page report, in MS Word, and an Excel workbook that includes the charts
that are a part of the report are available as a ZIPped (120,286 bytes) file,
NAMHIVSERO2000.zip, Click here to download
it now.
Lists of selected information on Namibia's Government Health Facilities
are available for download (as ZIPped Excel Spreadsheets). The files are
available for each of Namibia's 13 Regions or for the whole country (a separate
file for each region archived in one ZIP file).
Also a programme that allows you to view/print the population data and
to calculate growth rates for various age groups can be downloaded and used
on any PC.
