The anatomical knowledge of Namibian school children

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The public has limited knowledge of key organs and anatomical structures. The lack of anatomical knowledge and understanding can hinder time to access healthcare, quality of care, and treatment outcomes. The current study investigated the anatomical knowledge among Namibian children by comparing 8 school grades—4 to 12, which covers children ...
