Sarona Health opens doors

A consortium of youthful medical practitioners has opened doors to a new clinic, Sarona Health to help close healthcare delivery gaps.

Offering a full bouquet of services under one roof, the medical health establishment will house a general practitioner medical doctor, nutritionist, psychiatrist while dentist, physiotherapist, X-Ray and ultrasound radiology services are set to start operating end of March. “Healthcare delivery in Botswana has proven to be a challenge over the years, owing to limited resources, both human and equipment.

“This has therefore jeopardized the healthcare system’s efforts to facilitate swift access to proper medical services,” said Sarona Health Medical Director, Dr. Rapelang Archim Kelaotswe.

With vast experience in the medical field, Dr. Kelaotswe said the health sector burden has been felt more in government facilities, adding that the situation gives Sarona Health the liberty to explore different avenues in acquiring and availing these scarce resources.

“We have set a target for ourselves to be a force that will add impetus in the local health sector,” said Dr. Kelaotswe.

Sarona Health intends to establish working relationship with other healthcare providers in both private and government facilities to ensure quality services for Batswana. “We aspire to be the industry standard for excellence in private health service provision because since the resurgence of COVID-19, it became clear that Botswana’s health sector can get overwhelmed while a significant demographic of patients require convenient and quality health care,” he added.

Located in the new Sarona City Mall, the clinic has managed to attract clients from various communities. Sarona Clinic looks ahead with a promise of quality healthcare aiming to not only provide primary healthcare but also tailor made services for clients, both corporate and individuals.
