Botswana Nurses Union (BONU) president Obonolo Rahube has warned that the lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in hospitals may worsen the current COVID-19 situation for nurses in the workplace if not addressed.

Speaking during a media briefing this week, Rahube requested the Ministry of Health and Wellness to ask for supplementary funds to buy resources that are important in hospitals and PPE clothing.
