Following the press briefing conducted by the Minister of Health Hon. Dr Edwin G. Dikoloti on 16 January 2023, where he assured Botswana that more medications were expected in the country, the Ministry of Health has received two consignments of medications procured. Just yesterday\u00a0(23 January \u00a02023), the ministry\u00a0received \u00a0medications for\u00a0conditions\u00a0like\u00a0hypertension, heart\u00a0diseases, diabetes, mental\u00a0diseases, skin diseases, asthma, scabies and malaria, among others. This consignment also included\u00a0painkillers, iron supplements, oral contraceptives, antibiotics and\u00a0other categories \u00a0of \u00a0essential medications \u00a0that \u00a0have\u00a0been in short supply in the country.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On 20 January 2023, the ministry received multitudes of Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) batches, which are used to treat and prevent dehydration and related diarrheal illnesses. The next consignment is expected to be delivered in the country by the end of this week.<\/p>\n

The medications that have already been delivered, will be sent to all health facilities across the country,by the end of next week. The ministry believes that with these deliveries, the current medication shortages in the country, will begin to subside.<\/p>\n
