I know this may cause long queues in government hospitals but at least there should be an old age wing in every clinic and government hospitals, manned by a Motswana doctor  and Motswana nurse. Private medical practitioners may think of giving pensioners a reduced rate as well without thinking of how much they will make . Anyway, it is for those who can afford.
