The Ministry of Health and Social Services has established a Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) manufacturing facility in Swakopmund.

The complexity and nature of the pathology industry demand highly skilled personnel for specialised diagnostic services.

Over the years, the Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) spent N$4 million per medical student for specialisation.

The Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) has prepared all its systems in readiness and response to any outbreak that may require its services.

The institute has an annual test performance of approximately three million.
