MRI Botswana (MRIB) is a leading provider of integrated, innovative healthcare services and related healthcare solutions in Botswana. MRIB has been in existence for 30 years (circa 1991) with the sole mission of saving lives and delivering unparallel­ed care to those in need in Botswana and beyond. We pride ourselves in helping those in need when seconds count with the highest level of customer care; and we dispatch our services with the utmost integrity.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic MRIB sprang into action with the launch of innovative products and services assisting thousands in need via COVID-19 screening (first to market with rapid antigen testing), treatment (in clinics and at home) and transporti­ng patients in dire need of hospitaliz­ation, in country and beyond the border (South Africa).

In 2021 MRIB entered into an internatio­nal partnershi­p with a media production house. During the shoot of a well-known, American TV series in Botswana’s famous Okavango Delta, MRIB’s Emergency Medical Services was outsourced to provide medical concierge services to onsite production crews in the filming of two (2) episodes. Due to the extreme environmen­ts in which the production was made,

MRI Botswana deployed two of its seasoned medical doctors to provide health services in the form of Advanced Life Support, general healthcare services as well as COVID-19 screening services which was and remains crucial during this pandemic. In addition, a fully equipped 4X4 (all-wheel drive) bush ambulance and provision of air evacuation service were on stand for the duration of the shoot in case of emergencie­s.

In the same year the organizati­on signed a partnershi­p with Botswana’s leading Insurance group Botswana Life Insurance Limited (BLIL) to deliver Emergency Medical Services through a product rider called Thuso 992. Thuso 992 avails the provision of emergency medical services by MRIB, from the scene of a medical emergency to the nearest health facility. This product is intended to provide ordinary Batswana / residents and families access to medical emergency, evacuation and rescue service throughout Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe.

Beyond the Emergency Medical Services, MRI Botswana has through the years positioned itself as an internatio­nal brand through its 24hours Contact Centre Business, with an ability to provide services beyond SADC and Africa ensuring that businesses stay connected with the world.

In responding to business needs, MRI Botswana has been instrument­al in providing emergency solutions and On-site Clinics to private businesses setting up in Botswana from mining companies, exploratio­ns, and high scale industries. We offer customized services that benefit work locations and operations. MRIB is able to support specific medical needs to remote work camps, rural locations and more through a single source.
