CARLSBAD, CA, November 22, 2011
Bokamoso Private Hospital, located just west of Gaborone in Botswana, has been operational since January 2010. The vision in setting up a brand new hospital was to provide specialist services and facilities not previously catered for in existing hospitals in Botswana."One of our unique selling points is the range of specialist services that we provide," says Gontle Moleele, the Chief Medical Officer at Bokamoso Private Hospital. Services available at the hospital include neurology, cardiology, endocrinology, haemodialysis, sports medicine, pathology and gynecology, naming just a few of a wide selection. It also offers a range of surgical procedures, including plastic and orthopedic surgery, among others.
Moleele believes the facilities at the hospital also set it apart from its competitors. "The state-of-the-art equipment that we have is probably not available in any other hospital within this country," she explains. The equipment the hospital uses is all manufactured by leading technology companies; Draeger provides the equipment for the theatre and intensive care units, the laboratory equipment comes from Siemens and Toshiba supplies the radiology equipment and machinery. Dakin is another major supplier of the hospital, providing it with its chillers and air conditioning units.
The strong focus the Bokomoso Private Hospital has on providing exquisite patient care, specialist healthcare services and state-of-the-art equipment has allowed the hospital to fulfill its aim of being a one-of-kind hospital and healthcare facility in Africa.
