The WHO Botswana Biennial Report 2024โ2025 showcases a period of strong progress, resilience, and transformative partnerships in advancing national health priorities. Botswana reached a historic milestone as the first country globally to attain Gold Tier status for eliminating motherโtoโchild transmission of HIV, demonstrating the impact of sustained political commitment and integrated primary health care. Across the health system, key achievements include strengthening immunization, health security, and disease control programmes, while advancing reforms toward Universal Health Coverage and National Health Insurance. The country also enhanced preparedness through the Joint External Evaluation and development of a fully costed National Action Plan for Health Security. At the same time, Botswana continues to address emerging challenges, including nonโcommunicable diseases, health system investments, and recovery of routine services. WHO Botswana extends heartfelt appreciation to all WHO staff and to national, regional, and global stakeholders and partners for their invaluable collaboration in strengthening Botswanaโs health sector. We look forward to further deepening these partnerships to advance a healthier, more resilient future for all.
