WHO Botswana Biennial Report 2022-2023

WHO Botswana Biennial Report 2022-2023

The years 2022 and 2023 were years of transition from the devastating effects of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequently building resilient health systems. A biennial priority was to develop capacities for epidemic preparedness and response and have several ready-for-deployment professionals that can support Botswana and other countries in the region.

WHO’s 75th anniversary in 2023 was an opportunity to reflect on public health successes and motivate action to tackle current challenges and improve quality of life for all. 

A key event in the reported period is the 73rd session of the WHO Regional Committee for Africa (RC73) held in Gaborone from 28 August to 1 September 2023.
