FUELING FRUSTRATION IN BOTSWANA’S HEALTH SYSTEM

Article By: Sekhona Muchado

Patients who spoke to Gabz FM News described the system as overstretched, with elderly and critically ill individuals most affected by the strain.

Calls are mounting for government to urgently invest in expanding infrastructure and constructing new hospitals in densely populated urban areas to ease pressure on existing facilities.
