Grenada alumni drive impact across Botswana’s health sector :: Mmegi Online

For many doctors working across Botswana today, the path into medicine has taken them far from home before bringing them back again. Over the years, St. George’s University (SGU), School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies has become one of the institutions shaping that journey. For a growing number of Batswana pursuing medical training abroad, SGU has offered not just an education, but a different way of understanding healthcare; one that many are now applying within Botswana’s own system.

Their presence is not concentrated in one place. It is spread across hospitals, public health programs, private practice, and increasingly, in spaces where healthcare meets everyday life. What connects them is not only where they studied, but how that experience continues to shape the way they work.

Dr. Orapeleng Phuswane-Katse represents one side of that impact. Her decision to study medicine was driven by a clear desire to help people, but her work today extends far beyond individual patient care.
