Botswana Partners with Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation to Advance Digital Healthcare Transformation

Botswana Partners with Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation to Advance Digital Healthcare Transformation. Botswana has entered a strategic collaboration with the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation aimed at modernising the country’s healthcare system, with a strong focus on digital transformation. This was confirmed during a high-level engagement held today between Botswana’s health leadership and Dr. Senait Fisseha, Vice President of the Foundation.

The meeting marks a significant milestone in Botswana’s efforts to build a more efficient, transparent, and resilient health infrastructure. The partnership places technology and data at the centre of healthcare reform, positioning Botswana to improve service delivery, enhance health system accountability, and better meet the needs of its citizens.

The initiative aligns with Botswana’s broader goal of achieving universal health coverage. By integrating digital tools and data-driven solutions, the country aims to streamline patient care, improve health outcomes, and make healthcare more accessible—particularly in underserved areas.

In remarks following the meeting, Botswana’s health leadership reaffirmed the importance of local and regional collaboration. “As we move forward, we must draw inspiration from the innovation and expertise found across our continent. There is much to learn from our African peers who are achieving remarkable results in health system strengthening,” the official said.

The collaboration with the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation is expected to support key areas such as health system digitisation, women’s health, and capacity building. The Foundation has a strong track record of supporting health equity initiatives globally, making it a valuable partner in Botswana’s long-term healthcare goals.

As Botswana continues its journey toward universal health coverage, this partnership signals a renewed commitment to inclusive, people-centered healthcare that leverages modern tools and regional solidarity to improve the lives of all citizens.
