A Symbol of Hope and Triumph

One of our cancer survivors has generously donated a bell to our Oncology Team, as a token of appreciation to our staff and the hospital for the care and support provided during her treatment journey.

This special bell will be rung by patients upon completing their cancer treatment, a powerful symbol of courage, resilience, and victory over cancer.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the survivor for this meaningful gesture and to our dedicated Oncology team for the compassionate care they continue to provide.

SKMTH Performs Uterine Fibroid Embolisation, the first in a Public Hospital in Botswana.

On 19th August 2025, the Interventional Radiology team at Sir Ketumile Masire Teaching Hospital (SKMTH), led by Dr. Mugabi Nseko, successfully performed the first Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) procedure in a public hospital in Botswana.

UFE is a less invasive procedure for uterine fibroids. The procedure is performed by making a small puncture through the groin or forearm (wrist) to blood vessels supplying the uterus.

Some of the common complaints include pelvic pain especially associated with periods, excessive or repeated bleeding associated to monthly periods, failed conception, loss of pregnancy, abnormal bowel movements and or urinary symptoms like frequent urination due to pressure on the other organs in the female pelvis.

After treatment:
• Fibroids gradually shrink and symptoms improve.
• Some fibroids may break down and be dissolved by the body.
• Larger fibroids may die off and form harmless scar tissue.
• Fibroids located inside the womb may be passed out naturally, similar to menstrual flow.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the SKMTH team and the Government of Botswana for making this historic milestone possible.

The Uterine Fibroid Embolisation service is now available at SKMTH.

Yesterday, 8th August 2025, Sir Ketumile Masire Teaching Hospital proudly hosted the Botswana Dietetic Association Annual Symposium for the second time.

The event brought together some of the brightest minds in dietetics under the theme:
