Cost movements
Highest increases have taken place for hospitals, optometrists, medicines and “other” “Other” is off a low base Optometry could be due to two year cycle Medicines could (in part) be due to change in dispensing legislation (GP costs have grown slowly) Hospitals give cause for concern

Generic Ratio’s
Generic ratio’s are remaining constant over time

NAMAF PROJECTS
NAMAF has embarked upon the following projects: Namibianisation of the Tariff Publication Alternative Dispensing fee Model NAMAF Centralized Data Repository NAMAF Practice Coding Numbering
System (PCNS)
![Page 16: NAMAF TRUSTEE TRAINING 18 & 19 AUGUST 2014 FACTS & FIGURES CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SAFARI HOTEL WINDHOEK NAMIBIA NAMIBIA](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033019/56649d755503460f94a5548f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Namibianisation of the NAMAF Benchmark Tariffs
Over the last five years NAMAF has developed unique processes whereby: Tariff codes and descriptors are updated in collaboration
with the various professional bodies Year on year increases in the benchmark tariffs are
calculated by using formulas that take into account objective facts with respect to increases in the underlying costs
Cost of equipment is calculated by using formulas that take into account aspects such as purchasing prices, cost of financing and maintenance costs
In short, NAMAF has over the last five years implemented transparent process through which the year on year increases in the NAMAF benchmark tariffs are determined objectively. This is a unique process and comes as a result of ground breaking work that has been done.

NAMAF Alternative Dispensing Fee Model
NAMAF has identified a need to develop an alternative dispensing fee model that will incentivise pharmacists to:
Provide patients with cost-effective medicines; and Increase the utilisation of generic medication
Central to the process is that: The result should be cost neutral to the pharmacists as well
as the funds and The process should be participative and based upon
consensus Although a new model has not yet been implemented, good
progress has been made toward finding common ground and announcements will follow in the near future.

NAMAF Centralised Data Repository
NAMAF has commissioned the development of a centralised data repository that will allow for, for example:
Performing of comparisons against benchmarks; Understanding industry trends; Analysis of industry issues.
The first phase of development has been completed and individual funds have been given access in order for them to test their own data and provide feedback
![Page 19: NAMAF TRUSTEE TRAINING 18 & 19 AUGUST 2014 FACTS & FIGURES CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SAFARI HOTEL WINDHOEK NAMIBIA NAMIBIA](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033019/56649d755503460f94a5548f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
NAMAF Practice Code Numbering System
It is NAMAF’s intention to develop its own practice code numbering system and to reduce its dependence upon the South African system. This project will formally kick-off during the second half of 2014.
However, a provider database and lookup tool has already been incorporated in the centralised data repository and this will form the basis of the NAMAF practice code numbering system.

STANDARDS & REGULATIONS
NAMFISA promised to consult the industry on the standards & regulations.

COMPETITION COMMISSION ISSUES
The investigation of the industry by the Namibian Competition Commission (NCC) is still pending.
A number of submissions have been forwarded to NCC by our legal representative i.e.. Mr Hartmut Ruppel of LorentzAngula Inc.
NAMAF and the Funds were served with Form 6 Notices. According to NCC, NAMAF & the Funds contravened the
provisions of Part 1 of the Competition Act and mores specifically section 23(1) read with section 23(2).
The Commission considers approaching the Court under section 38 0f the Competition Act.
NAMAF is of the opinion that we are not an “undertaking” as per the Competition Act.
NAMAF believes that the Competition Act has no bearing on NAMAF as a statutory body.
