In Botswana, there is an urgent and growing demand for skilled public health professionals. The country is currently grappling with the dual challenge of managing communicable and non-communicable diseases. Public health plays a pivotal role in protecting and enhancing the health of the population that goes beyond the care of individual patients to a population-level approach. This broader approach emphasizes disease prevention, health promotion, and health protection, which requires professionals who can develop and implement effective interventions, conduct research, and advocate for policies that promote health and well-being for all Batswana. These dedicated professions play a vital role in fostering a healthier and more resilient society.
