AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

HIV Update for Botswana: Botswana has officially entered the world’s top 20 countries by absolute number of people living with HIV, with an estimated 360,000 cases and adult prevalence near 20%—a stark reminder that progress is real but the epidemic remains hyper-endemic. Medical Imaging Access: A Penn team received a $110,000 Google grant to use MedGemma AI to improve access to essential medical imaging in Botswana, aiming to help clinicians spot lung disease earlier and reduce delays in underserved areas. Medicine Shortages Pressure: Botswana’s public health system continues to face medicine availability problems, with reports describing empty shelves at clinics and growing public frustration over procurement and supply gaps. Allergy Care Push: Across Africa, World Allergy Week coverage highlights that asthma, rhinitis, eczema, food and drug allergies, and anaphylaxis are still under-recognised in health planning—calling for allergies to be treated as essential care. US Support for Supplies: The US Embassy has donated medical commodities worth P13.5 million to help ease acute shortages of essential health supplies and strengthen Botswana’s emergency response.
