Strengthening Spine Care in Botswana: Training Local Healthcare Providers in Evidence-Based Protocols
Earlier this year, a team journeyed over 3,500 kilometers (more than 2,000 miles) round-trip from their home clinic, making stops at five hospitals in Tsabong, Hukuntsi, Ghanzi, Shakawe, and Maun.
During their time on the road, the team had the opportunity to consult with more than 70 patients, many of whom were dealing with chronic pain conditions that had become disabling and difficult to manage. They also had the privilege of delivering presentations to over 120 healthcare professionals, including doctors, physiotherapists, and medical students.

Building Community in Botswana
Since opening the newest World Spine Care clinic in Botswana six months ago, Dr. Mufudzi Chihambakwe has been busy building a community around spine care. As clinical coordinator for the BH3 Clinic, Mufudzi has brought patients and community members together for physical activity and education–including a hilltop yoga session for World Spine Day.
