Accident funds to emphasise prevention

"The prevailing operative phrase is 'prevention for sustainability,'" Muadino said. Muadino was speaking in Gaborone last week at the occasion to mark the signing of a Memorandum between MVA (Botswana) and the Ministry of Health that culminated in a case management workshop for MVA (Namibia) and MVA (Botswana).

The Namibian said progressive accident funds must expend their resources largely on injury prevention and safety promotion. "Even in the health sector, they talk of promotion of good and healthy lifestyles and prevention being better than cure," he said.
