In 2019, 31-year-old Koketso Majuta quit his job at Gaborone Private Hospital, one of Botswana's largest hospitals, and opened his own medical clinic in the small town of Palapye.
Little did he know then that his presence and services would benefit the growing town greatly during the COVID-19 pandemic that followed.
"We decided early on that we needed to play our part in the fight against the pandemic," said Majuta, founder of Toro Clinic Medical Centre.
To serve the town effectively during Botswana's lockdowns, curfews and other assortments of COVID-19 restrictions, Majuta introduced a home delivery of medication, a service that largely benefited his elderly clients during the lockdowns as they were able to receive their medication from the comfort of their homes.
