💨 Abstract

Zimbabwe donated ARVs to Botswana to address its medicine shortages, with 80% as a loan and 20% as a gift. The handover was witnessed by officials from both countries, emphasizing regional cooperation. While Botswana has made progress in HIV treatment, challenges persist. The move sparked mixed reactions online, with praise for African solidarity but concerns over Zimbabwe’s own shortages. Critics questioned the donation’s feasibility, citing past shortages in Zimbabwe.
