MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical
facilities in Gaborone are adequate, but available facilities in other areas
are limited. Well-equipped emergency rooms and trained physicians are
available in the capital but services are rudimentary elsewhere.
Professional private emergency rescue services operate air and ground
ambulances throughout the country, but care is rendered only after a
patient’s ability to pay is established. Response times are often slow in
less populated areas. Malaria is prevalent only in the north of the
country, particularly around the Chobe and Okavango National Parks. Malaria
prophylaxis is not required in Gaborone but is suggested for travel to the
north. For advanced care Americans often choose to travel to South Africa.
Most prescription drugs are available in Gaborone.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling in Botswana are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S.
Embassy or Consulate through the
State Department’s travel
registration website so that they can obtain updated information on
travel and security within Botswana. The U.S. Embassy is located in
Gaborone on Embassy Drive in the Government Enclave. The mailing address is
P.O. Box 90, Gaborone, telephone +267 395-3982; fax +267 318-0232; email
consulargaboro@state.gov, and
the after-hours emergency telephone is +267 395-7111.
