Chinese medical support: A 17th batch of a Chinese medical team is boosting capacity at Gaborone’s Princess Marina Hospital, with ultrasound and emergency-ready care helping staff move from diagnosis to delivery fast during busy clinic days. Cardiovascular training push: Merck Foundation marked World Hypertension Day 2026 by funding nearly 1,000 scholarships for future specialists across diabetes, endocrinology, cardiology and preventive care—aimed at expanding skills beyond capital cities. Polio misinformation fight: Botswana’s Ministry of Health is pushing back against rumours around the door-to-door oral polio campaign, stressing it’s an emergency add-on to routine vaccines to protect against Type 2 poliovirus. Regional health context: Zimbabwe’s Cure Children’s Hospital model shows how public-private partnerships can deliver thousands of specialised surgeries—an approach Botswana can watch as it strengthens its own care pathways.
