In recognition of vital role played by the nurses and the midwives in providing health services, the World Health Organisation (WHO) designated 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife (ACNM 2020; ICN 2019; WHO 2020).

Thus it is fitting and proper that tribute be paid to a nursing icon of our time, Professor Serara Segarona Kupe-Mogwe, for her tremendous contribution to development of the nursing profession in Botswana and internationally.
