by Johannes J. George
Welcome to the Website of I-Care Health Training Institute, Windhoek, Namibia. The Institute was established in the year 2017, with the guidance of the Namibian Nursing Act no. 8 of 2004. It is one of the successfully rationalized and promising healthcare training institutes in Namibia. We seek to endow students from all the Namibian communities, including the rural areas, an opportunity to succeed in their world by offering a wide variety of challenging, gratifying and affluent nursing curricula prospects.
I-Care Health Training Institute takes pride in assisting students across all academic programmes to grow and excel into subtle and accountable citizens of the subsequent generation in the healthcare sector.
Our philosophy as an Institution has always been meeting the needs of the individual student registered with us and guiding them through the desired career path.
The mission of the institution is directed towards diverse communities of the Republic of Namibia and the Institute acknowledges values and benefits from the rich histories, unique qualities and comprehensive array of cultural values in the country. The philosophy and mission of I-Care Health Training Institute is focused on quality, trust, professionalism and compassion, collaboration and teamwork, dignity and respect, innovation and research within the healthcare system and education.
For the demands and accountability of the nursing profession are so great, nursing education must be a partnership between the student, the educator and the healthcare system at large. To achieve this, our theoretical knowledge and practical experience are intertwined to ensure factual learning.
To become a nurse, learning the principles of nursing care, analysing them and applying them to daily practice is a profound requirement.
The Institute believes that tertiary education in healthcare/nursing is tasked to prepare prospective nurses (students), at all levels of nursing care, for proficient and discipline-related roles through a competency based study programme highlighting practice that is interpersonal, contemplative, receptive to the necessities of the communities, reverent and compassionate.
Hence, the Institution belief in the equivalent significance of both the qualified nurse educator and the process of providing the prescribed education to prepare students from the entry-level for a professional qualification.
We are dedicated to stimulating reflective practice and leadership for social transformation with integral reciprocity within the nursing practice, theory and research in our study programmes. Embracing a committed management, devoted lecturers and tutors blending to cultivate and produce a professionally accountable citizen, caring and compassionate health worker. Our commitment to providing a safe, positive, intellectual learning environment empower students to develop into creative and active problem solvers, critical and analytical thinkers, prepared for a devoted life to nursing care.
With the solid foundation to be found within our qualifications, I-Care Health Training Institute intends to produce health workers who will ultimately improve the quality, accessibility and cost-effectiveness of timely health care services by providing the much needed health care services and by reaching out to the underserved communities with high impact primary health care programmes.
Enjoy your journey to success with us!
