Botswana declares public health emergency amid severe medicine shortage crisis

Botswana has declared a public health emergency, citing a national medical supply chain collapse caused by depleted government funds and severe cuts in aid from the US. The declaration was made by President Duma Boko, who blamed the crisis on the country's financial struggles. This move allows for greater flexibility in distributing limited resources to address pressing healthcare needs. The situation has significant implications for Botswana's ability to respond to medical emergencies and treat its citizens.
