The National Surgical, Obstetric, and Anaesthesia Plan aims to provide integrated, timely, high-quality, safe, cost-effective, and equitable essential critical, emergency, and surgical, obstetric and aneasthesia (SOA) care to all Namibians.

The Namibian NSOAP outlines a strategy to address six key health system areas: surgical infrastructure and equipment, surgical service delivery and supplies, surgical workforce, surgical information management and quality improvement, surgical financing, and surgical system governance. Each domain broadly addresses complex SOA problems caused by emergency, as well as essential surgical conditions like trauma and injury, cancer, childbirth complications and birth defects.
