Parley pushes for relocation of primary healthcare services

The main reason for the relocation back then was to create a single health authority as well as to enable continuum of care from primary to quaternary care and to enhance standardisation of patient care. But Batswana continue to accuse the government of poor service delivery.

In a motion that was tabled by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Takatokwane, Tshoganetso Leuwe, collectively, MPs conceded it was overdue for healthcare services to be relocated back to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development in an effort to improve healthcare delivery. Debating the motion, Leuwe said healthcare service delivery used to be quicker, easier when it was handled under the Ministry of Local Government hence the need to consider relocating it back to local government ministry to improve service delivery and save lives.
