The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) is empowering social workers with coping skills to combat tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy diseases in Namibia. 

The Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services, Utjiua Muinjangue, who officially opened the training, highlighted the stigma and discrimination associated with TB and leprosy.

Therefore, this initiative to involve social workers is instrumental in addressing these societal challenges.
