Jubilee is a national monument, say citizens

Situated in the Government Camp, next to police quarters and the museum among some old colonial buildings, only the name Jubilee remains one of the structures that nowadays is a psychiatric unit. Back in the days, Jubilee Hospital used to be the reference point for the Francistown residents and people in northern Botswana.  It could be safe to hazard a guess that all the elders of the north know the hospital because it is where they brought their offspring to life by way of delivering babies who are now also adults, also having their bodily ailments taken care of. The hospital was turned into a psychiatric ward and it now goes by the name of Jubilee psychiatry. In an interview with a psychiatrist at the Jubilee Psychiatry who chose not to be mentioned by name, he said the hospital has since been phased out and replaced by the psychiatric unit.

"Jubilee used to be the first and only hospital in this City. In 1989 when Nyangabgwe Hospital was opened some of the functions of Jubilee Hospital were moved to Nyangabgwe.
