Ministry of Health headquarters in Gaborone

GANTSI: The director of health services, Dr Khumo Seipone, has said the government is not getting value for its investments in the health sector. She said that though the government has availed adequate health facilities, service delivery remains a challenge that negates investments in the sector.
