Ookeditse
Ookeditse is an assistant minister in Botswana who recently addressed concerns raised by Member of Parliament Motlhaleemang Moalosi regarding the delayed introduction of injectable antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in the country. He explained that while these treatments were approved in 2022, their availability has been hindered due to global supply constraints, with research institutions securing much of the stock. Ookeditse highlighted the potential benefits of injectable ARVs, including improved adherence to treatment and reduced stigma associated with daily medication, while also noting that new promising products are on the horizon, although widespread availability in Botswana is unlikely before 2025.
