The TEMCO Story
A Batswana-led initiative to transform specialised healthcare access across Botswana and the SADC region.
Addressing Botswana's Healthcare Gap
Every year, Batswana spend hundreds of millions of pula on medical treatment abroad. Patients travel to South Africa and India for oncology radiation, cardiac catheterisation, robotic surgery and dialysis — services that should be available at home.
The TEMCO project team was assembled to address this gap directly. Clinicians, engineers, legal advisors and operational leaders came together with a shared objective: build a 130-bed specialised hospital at the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport SEZ that would repatriate this medical outflow and deliver advanced care locally.
This is not a general clinic or a wellness retreat. TEMCO is a specialised tertiary-care hospital focused on the four clinical areas that currently drive medical travel abroad — oncology, cardiovascular, robotic and neurosurgery, and trauma with dialysis.
Hundreds of Millions of Pula
Annual Medical Outflow
Batswana spend hundreds of millions of pula each year on cross-border medical treatment. TEMCO exists to keep that spend — and that care — at home.
6-12 Months
Current Wait Times
Current waiting periods for oncology, cardiac catheterisation, robotic surgery and dialysis.
Local Access
Cost & Convenience
TEMCO is positioned to deliver specialised care at a meaningful discount to equivalent regional private rates, without the travel burden.
National Impact
Modelled ten-year socioeconomic contribution across the facility, the specialist pipeline, and the SADC patient-flow economy.
GDP Contribution
Material contribution to Botswana's GDP across the operating period, through construction spend, operating revenue, and multiplier effects.
Local Employment
Significant direct and indirect job creation across clinical, operational, and construction roles — anchored in Batswana recruitment and training.
Patients Served
Thousands of patients served annually at steady state, drawing from Botswana and the wider SADC region through airport-adjacent medical-tourism flow.
Lives Saved
Lives saved through local access to specialist oncology, cardiovascular, and complex-care services — removing the mortality burden of delayed cross-border referral.
Medical-Travel Savings
Medical-travel spend returned to Botswana — capital that today leaves the country for treatment abroad, recaptured into domestic healthcare and adjacent services.
Specialist Pipeline
A training pipeline for specialist clinicians — building durable medical capacity for Botswana and the SADC region through clinical partnership and JCI-aligned protocols.
Full impact projections — including quantified GDP, jobs, patient volume, lives saved, travel savings, and specialist throughput — are available to qualified investors on inquiry.
Request AccessOur Mission
To repatriate Botswana's annual medical tourism outflow by delivering specialised tertiary-care services locally — oncology, cardiovascular, robotic surgery and dialysis — at a meaningful discount to equivalent regional private rates, while creating significant local employment, contributing materially to GDP, and establishing a specialist training pipeline for the SADC region.
Treatment at home. No more six-to-twelve-month waits. No more flights to Johannesburg for a cath lab procedure. Care delivered locally by BHPC-registered practitioners working alongside international partners.
Our Principles
The values that guide every decision, from clinical design to investor engagement.
Clinical Credibility
Every decision is guided by evidence-based medicine and internationally recognised clinical standards. Numbers over adjectives, outcomes over promises.
National-Priority Alignment
TEMCO is embedded in Botswana’s national development strategy. NDP 12 Priority, BETP Project, PEMANDU Associates delivery-readiness validation, SEZA-qualifying and Ministry of Health Letter of Support.
Patient Access
No Motswana should need to fly abroad for cancer treatment, cardiac catheterisation or dialysis. Local access to specialised care is a right, not a privilege.
Economic Impact
Repatriating hundreds of millions of pula in annual medical outflow, creating significant local employment and contributing materially to GDP. Full ten-year impact projections available to qualified investors on inquiry.
Batswana-Led
Conceived, led and governed by Batswana professionals. International partnerships complement local leadership rather than replacing it.
Transparency and Accountability
Open governance, traceable financials and a commitment to JCI accreditation. Every claim we make is defensible and every number is sourced.
