Generally speaking, Namibia is a country where health care options will vary widely, depending on someone's social status and geographic location. In urban areas, like Windhoek, there are many responsive and high-quality pharmacies, which sell a variety of contraceptive options, though most contraceptive methods, including birth control pills, do require a prescription. Furthermore, emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are legal and, while some official sources may state that they are by prescription-only, they appear to be sold over-the-counter. | Generally speaking, Namibia is a country where health care options will vary widely, depending on someone's social status and geographic location. In urban areas, like Windhoek, you can find higher quality and modern medical facilities, though these private facilities are unaffordable to much of the populace. However, in more rural areas, women may depend on small clinics, which are run by the government or church associations, or sometimes traditional healers. In cities, there are many responsive and high-quality pharmacies, which sell a variety of contraceptive options, though most contraceptive methods, including birth control pills, do require a prescription. Furthermore, emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are legal and, while some official sources may state that they are by prescription-only, they appear to be sold over-the-counter. The fertility rate, as of 2017, is 3.29 children born per woman.<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2127rank.html#wa CIA World Factbook - COUNTRY COMPARISON :: TOTAL FERTILITY RATE]</ref> | ||
