Article By: Phenyo Babusi

A leading health expert is warning that Botswana’s next major health crisis may not come from viruses, but from poor lifestyle choices.

In an exclusive interview with Gabz FM News, Diagnofirm CEO and Medical Director Dr. Mohammed Chand says non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity are silently overwhelming clinics, especially in Gaborone and Francistown.

Dr. Chand says nearly one in three adults in Botswana now lives with high blood pressure, with obesity on the rise—particularly among women.
