Bokamoso Private Hospital Offers Comprehensive Cardiology Services for Adults and Children
Gaborone, Botswana – July 2025 – Bokamoso Private Hospital is proud to offer one of Botswana’s most advanced and comprehensive cardiology services, providing diagnostic, interventional, and rehabilitative heart care for both adults and children. With a dedicated team of highly skilled cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, paediatric cardiologists, nurses, and technicians, the hospital delivers world-class cardiac care, close to home.
At the heart of this offering is a new, state–of–the–art biplane catheterisation laboratory (Cath Lab) – the only one of its kind and a first for Botswana, designed with patient safety, comfort, and outcomes in mind. The upgraded system enables life–saving procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and diagnostic cardiac catheterisation to be performed more efficiently and safely
than ever before.
“We’re not just treating heart conditions – we’re improving lives and helping patients return to their families and communities with confidence,” said Dr. Boitumelo Nkoane–Kelaeng, resident cardiologist at Bokamoso Private Hospital. “What sets us apart is not just our capabilities, but the way we deliver care: with compassion, clarity, and a full–circle approach.”
The new Cath Lab system introduces a range of patient–focused benefits:
• Improved kidney safety – the system uses significantly less contrast dye than traditional single–plane machines, which is especially beneficial for patients with renal conditions.
• Shorter procedure times – the lab features dual X–ray tubes that capture detailed images from multiple angles at once, allowing for quicker and more efficient interventions.
“Cardiology at Bokamoso Private Hospital is more than just procedures – it’s about long-term relationships, guidance, and support,” said one of the paediatric cardiologists practising at the hospital. “We walk alongside families from diagnosis through to treatment and beyond, particularly for our youngest and most vulnerable patients.”
