LEGABIBO lauds gov't for free anti-retroviral therapy

A press release from LEGABIBO’s media advocacy and communications officer Matlhogonolo Samsam notes that the recent statement from the President Mokgweetsi Masisi during his courtesy call from The Champions for AIDS Free Generation indicated that Botswana would continue to provide free anti-retroviral therapy to everyone without discrimination. 

“To civil society working on enabling access to these lifesaving medicines, this statement was understood to mean that ART will be made available to everyone including non-citizens. Human rights organizations have for some time now highlighted this gap in Botswana’s efforts to enable universal access to anti-retroviral therapy, the need to be inclusive,” she noted.
