An assessment of the adequacy of iron deficiency anaemia management in the Namibian private healthcare system.

CONCLUSION: The study concluded that medical practitioners follow different guidelines and reference documents when dealing with patients with suspected IDA. Adherence to a single reference document would enable standardization of clinical practice. Management of IDA in the Namibian private healthcare system could be improved. To ensure adequate IDA management and prompt resolution of iron deficiency anaemia, we recommended the need to review the Namibia Standard Treatment guidelines and to ensure that training on the guidelines is offered.
