چکیده
Background Namibia faces a chronic shortage of pharmaceutical personnel. The high burden of HIV and AIDS, coupled with increased numbers of patients needing antiretroviral (ARV) services, has further exacerbated this shortage. Skills related to PSM are essential for ensuring continuous availability of essential medicines for public health programs, including HIV and AIDS and TB. Pre-service education allows students to develop their competencies in supply chain, reducing the need for future investments in expensive in-service training.
