  What is cancer? Our bodies are made up of tiny building blocks called cells. These cells grow, divide and die in an orderly process. Sometimes something causes a disruption in this orderly process and the cells start to grow in an abnormal way, and out of control, in a certain part of the body. This is the start of cancer. Cancer can be a growth or tumor or even form in the blood or bones of the body.

  We are very proud to have ground-breaking medical procedures taking place in our facility - congratulations to our Oncologist, Dr Tommy van Wyk, on performing the first stem cell transplant in Namibia. We are excited at the prospects this intervention holds for our patients with cancer. For more information, please contact stemcellnamibia@gmail.com.

  November 7th is International Medical Physics Day (IDMP)! This year the IDMP theme is "providing a holistic approach to women patients and women staff safety in radiation medicine".

  Several medical conditions in women, such as breast and cervical cancers, demand the application of radiation to achieve a particular diagnostic or therapeutic goal. However, there is always a potential for some side effects to occur when radiation is applied in medicine. These effects could be ei...ther stochastic or deterministic and hence appropriate radiation protection mechanisms need to be employed. Many women have concerns about radiation exposure and its effects, especially during pregnancy. For women to make informed decisions regarding their work around radiation, a clear understanding of the risk of radiation exposure during pregnancy, including risk to fetus, is required. Women’s understanding of the magnitude of the risk and mechanisms to limit exposure are necessary in order to feel comfortable in their work environment and perform to the best of their abilities.

  Currently in Namibia there are 7 medical physicists of which 2 are female. One is at the Namibian Oncology Center and the other at the National Radiation Protection Authority.

  Medical physicists' roles in radiation medicine are crucial as they are engaged in the delivery of radiation treatment, dosimetry evaluation, radiation protection of patients, staff and the public, quality control and quality management of radiological health systems and procedures.

  Happy International Medical Physics Day!
