The Department of Family Medicine & Public Health, the Botswana Family Medicine Association, and the Botswana Family Nurse Practitioners Group present the 9th Botswana Family Medicine and Primary Health Care Conference.
The theme for this year’s conference is:
“Primary Healthcare System Strengthening in the Digital Technology Era: Reshaping the future of primary healthcare”.
Enhancing the accessibility, affordability, and quality of healthcare is at the heart of primary health care (PHC) worldwide. Investments in PHC improve equity and access, health care performance, accountability of health systems, and health outcomes. The WHO goals of revitalising PHC is a key means towards achieving universal health coverage (UHC), sustainable development goals (SDG3), and health security. Botswana, like many sub-Saharan African countries, faces multifactorial challenges in realizing high quality PHC. Hence the need for Primary HealthCare systems strengthening to reshape the future of primary healthcare. The world is moving towards the use of enhanced digital technology in the workforce and healthcare. Incorporating digital technology in PHC system strengthening presents opportunities for enhancing the revitalization of PHC.
We anticipate that speakers and participants at this year’s conference will include healthcare practitioners, students, and researchers from the SADC region, and beyond.
