The Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC), in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is conducting a study to assess the impact of the Supreme Court's judgement on the Commission's jurisdiction over the Namibia Association of Medical Aid Funds (NAMAF) , medical professionals, and consumers.

In 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that NaCC does not have the mandate nor the jurisdiction to impose Section 23 of the Competition Act, which prohibits restrictive business practises.

The Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC) is conducting a study to address complaints of uneven distribution of coverage, high costs of services, and competition-related issues in the private healthcare system.

This will consider the period between 2001 and 2021 to understand competition issues in the private healthcare sector.

The private healthcare sector serves only 18% of the population with medical aid and is said to be skewed in structure and provision of services, while its state of competition is also not well understood.
