According to recent data, the highest paid neurologist in Namibia make an average of $341,000 per year. This figure is nearly double the amount that the second highest paid neurologist earns in the country. The data also shows that there is a significant disparity between what male and female neurologists earn. Male neurologists earn an average of $37,000 more than their female counterparts.

Despite the fact that neurologists perform high-profile and complex procedures and diagnostics, their pay ranked slightly below that of gastroenterologists. Gastroenterologists are among the highest paid doctors in the country. The reason that they earn less than neurologists is likely due to the fact that many gastroenterologists earn a significant portion of their income from performing colonoscopies, which are highly reimbursed by medical insurance companies.
