Yet another court victory for BONU

In its freshest court victory before Justice Jennifer Dube of the Lobatse High Court, the judge interdicted the Botswana Health Professions Council (BHPC) from proceeding with pre-registration examinations of public health practitioners.

BONU approached the courts on urgency last week following the BHPC's decision, which adopted a pre-registration examination requirement against nurses to be declared and thus outside the protection of immunity from suit extended by the Botswana Health Professions Act.
