Health Ministry To Outsource Services

Health Minister, Dr Alfred Madigele has explained that it is time for transformation in health institutions with a view to safe guarding people’s lives.

He said the focus would be to provide quality health services more especially in their hospitals. The disclosure follows an enquiry by The Monitor into the Ministry’s move to outsource some services to private hospitals. Madigele revealed that they resolved to outsource services that government health institutions fail to provide in line with their mandate to provide quality heath service.  He stated that currently they are outsourcing some services to Bokamoso and Gaborone private hospitals. Over the years the Ministry has been accused of failure to uphold its core mandate and thereby compromising the health care system.
