Towards a new era in health

At its opening, during what the hospital has dubbed phase one, the hospital will have 200 and a further 130 beds during the second and third phases. But the opening of the hospital also brings with it many questions from the public and anxiety from competitors.

Already there are allegations that the owners of the hospital  - the two government medical insurances in PULA and Botswana Public Officers Medical aid scheme (BPOMAS) are not able to honor payments for members who visited private practitioners. GREG KELEBONYE asks KABELO EBINENG, the Managing Director of Associated Fund Administrators (AFA), the organisation that manages BPOMAS and PULA to shed light on the developments following the opening of the hospital.
