DISCLAIMER: U.S. Embassies and Consulates maintain lists of physicians and medical facilities for distribution to American citizens needing medical care. The inclusion of a specific physician or medical facility does not constitute a recommendation and the Department of State assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the medical professionals, medical facilities, or air ambulance services whose names appear on such lists. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. Professional credentials and areas of expertise are provided directly by the medical professional, medical facility, or air ambulance service. Updated September 01, 2023.
If you or a U.S. citizen loved one become seriously ill or injured abroad, a consular officer from the U.S. embassy can assist in locating appropriate medical services and informing your family or friends. If necessary, a consular officer can also assist in the transfer of funds from the United States. However, payment of hospital and other expenses is the patient’s responsibility.
Adequately equipped emergency rooms and trained physicians are available in the capital but services are limited elsewhere. Professional private emergency rescue services operate air and ground ambulances throughout the country, but care is rendered only after a patient’s ability to pay is established.
Malaria is prevalent only in the north of the country, particularly around the Chobe and Okavango National Parks. Malaria prophylaxis is not required in Gaborone but is highly recommended for travel north of the Tropic of Capricorn.
Tuberculosis is an increasingly serious health concern in Botswana. Individuals who plan to reside in or visit Botswana for extended periods are advised to obtain a tuberculosis skin test (PPD test) prior to arrival and again upon departure from Botswana. For further information, please consult the CDC’s information on TB.
You can find detailed information on vaccinations and other health precautions on the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website, which contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information.
For more information please refer to the health section for Botswana at travel.state.gov
The following institutions, individuals, hospitals and/or doctors, have informed the Embassy that they are qualified to practice in the categories specified, and that they are sufficiently competent in the English language to provide services to English-speaking clients. The Embassy has neither the authority nor the facilities to act as a medical grievance committee. If you encounter unsatisfactory services by parties listed, however, set forth the circumstances in writing and the complaint will be noted in our files. If errors have occurred in this list, they will be corrected in the next edition. Each person listed should bring any errors to the Embassy’s attention, as well as any changes in names, addresses, telephone numbers and basic information. The information provided is updated annually in December. All corrections and modifications should be sent to: American Embassy, P.O. Box 90, Gaborone, Botswana or send an E-mail to consulargaborone@state.gov
