"This is not merely a policy about insurance. It is a policy about dignity. It is a policy about equity. It is about whether a child in Shakawe should have the same opportunity to receive quality healthcare as a child in Gaborone. It is about whether a pensioner in Tsabong should be able to receive treatment without wondering whether the cost will consume the little money available for food. It is about whether a working mother in Francistown can seek care early, rather than waiting until illness becomes an emergency. And ultimately, it is about the kind of Botswana we want to build. A Botswana in which; where you are born, where you live, or what you earn does not determine the quality of healthcare you receive," ๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ง. ๐๐ซ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ.
