2025 Botswana medical crisis

The 2025 Botswana medical crisis is an ongoing healthcare crisis in Botswana.

Background

The last medical crisis in Botswana was a major cholera outbreak in 2009. In the early 2020s, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic affected the country.

Events

In 2025, hospitals and clinics have suffered from shortages of essential supplies. This has been exacerbated by budget shortfalls and reduction of aid from the United States. Supply chain shortages have been reported.

On 25 August 2025, President Duma Boko declared a public health emergency. The country's military was ordered to distribute emergency supplies. By September 2025, medicines were delivered to different parts of the country.

In November 2025, President Duma Boko announced that India would be offering medical assistance during a media briefing with Indian President Droupadi Murmu. A memorandum was signed between the two countries.
