Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC), Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) and Methealth Administrators Namibia have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate through research, technology and innovation.
With a strong commitment to technological development, MTC understands that investing in technological innovation is a catalyst for development and growth. “Investing in and future-proofing technology in the health space is vital for driving innovation and economic growth,” said Nawa Likando, Head Digital Transformation at MTC.
“MTC is committed to being a digital catalyst for transformation. Our journey, as a telecommunications company, has been one of constant evolution. From our humble beginnings, we have grown into a national leader, and we now stand poised to embark on a new chapter of growth and innovation. Our innovative digital solutions are poised to revolutionize the lives of our citizens, meeting and even exceeding the expectations of organizations like MetHealth Namibia Administration.
“Through this collaboration, we anticipate an expansion of MTC’s service reach and presence across Namibia, further cementing our role as a digital enabler of change. As partners (MTC, NUST, and METHEALTH) we aim to unlock new frontiers in digital innovation, refine systems and processes, drive automation, and provide client-centric, improved services within our respective domains.” adds Likando.
Furthermore, the partnership will also focus on the identification and pursuit of research and development projects that hold immense promise for Namibia. Collaboration will extend to nurturing the talents of young people through internships and leveraging the resources of the MTC Innovation Centre to share lessons learned, explore innovative solutions, and challenge the boundaries of what is possible—all while adhering to the confines of relevant legislation.
“This partnership is not just about the collaboration between institutions; it is about people—our fellow Namibians. It is about empowering individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to excel in a rapidly changing world. It is about providing cutting-edge services that improve the quality of life for all our citizens. And it is about building a future where Namibia stands as an outstanding example of innovation, resilience, and progress,” Likando said.
