The public healthcare system in Botswana is primarily funded by the government through the Ministry of Health and Wellness. The system is divided into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary care.

Primary Care[edit | edit source]

Primary care services are provided at local clinics and health posts throughout the country. These facilities are typically staffed by nurses and community health workers.
