Boitekanelo College, doctors' union partner

The two organisations’ new relationship was sealed on Thursday evening following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Boitekanelo College’s Tlokweng campus. The goal is to develop a collaborative approach to improving the quality of healthcare. Through this partnership, Boitekanelo College will offer BDU members, and other allied healthcare professionals the opportunity to enrol for a leadership and management programme offered through the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

Boitekanelo College founding president Dr Tiroyaone Mampane said COVID-19 exposed a shortage of healthcare professionals equipped with leadership and strategic skills within the healthcare system. “When we requested the partnership, out of the areas that we looked at, we wanted to focus mainly on the area of leadership and strategic management for health professionals.
