AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Polio pushback: Botswana’s Ministry of Health is calming public anger and misinformation as it completes a four-day door-to-door oral polio campaign for children aged 0–59 months, stressing the extra dose is an emergency boost against Type 2 poliovirus—not a replacement for routine vaccines. Congenital care context: Across the region, Zimbabwe’s Cure Children’s Hospital partnership says more than 5,000 children with cleft lip, clubfoot and missing limbs have received specialised surgery through public-private collaboration. Health governance pressure: A new Auditor General report alleges hundreds of millions of pula from Botswana’s COVID-19 relief fund were spent on activities “not related to COVID-19,” including parties and retreats, raising fresh questions about oversight. Regional health diplomacy: Botswana’s President Duma Boko and Zimbabwe’s officials continue mourning Festus Mogae, with public health tributes highlighting his legacy.
