  • 18. Molepolole
    [18] SCOTTISH LIVINGSTONE HOSPITAL, MOLEPOLOLE When Dr Peter Shepherd arrived in Molepolole in 1931, he set three tasks for the United Free Church of Scotland Mission: to establish the church, to heal the sick and, in modern terminology, to localise. He wrote, "There's fifty years' work for us to do". Present indications are that the Hospital will be taken over by the government in 1975, six years before the fifty are up. Opened in 1934 and named after the first Scottish missionary in Molepolole (the Dr Livingstone), the Hospital has since Dr Shepherd's departure in 1948 been under the Rev Dr Alfred Merriweather. Dr Merriweather is a household name in Botswana; he was for five years Speaker first of the Legislative Council and then after Independence of the first National Assembly, and in 1972 he was awarded the Presidential Order of Honour. The matron and sister tutor, also from Scotland, have been at the Hospital almost as long as Dr Merriweather. In those days it was usual to sign thirty-year contracts. The Hospital has 169 beds and runs four permanently staffed clinics in the Kweneng District. Monthly or more frequent visits are made from these clinics to 12 other villages (see Kopong Clinic report – No 21), while visits from the Hospital itself are made monthly or quarterly to villages, four of them up to 180 miles away on the track through the Kalahari. The total number of outpatient first-visits to the Hospital and permanent clinics in 1972 was 45,000. The Hospital runs a training school for registered nurses, midwives and enrolled nurses.

  • Botswana Kweneng
    Botswana Kweneng Kweneng District is located in the south-eastern part of Botswana. It borders Central District in northeast, Kgatleng District on the east, South-East District in southeast, Southern District in south, Kgalagadi District in the west, Ghanzi District in the north. The district is administered by a district administration and district council which are responsible for local administration. The seat of the district’s government is Molepolole.* Kweneng District Council (KwDC), through its Public Health Department is responsible for solid waste management in the district. KwDC provides waste collection and disposal services in some parts of the district. In other parts of the district, solid waste is collected by private operators under a franchise agreement with KwDC. In the district, there is one incineration facility (only for medical waste) and one engineered sanitary landfill located 30 kilometres from the district centre. The landfill is a regional landfill, i.e. solid waste from Kweneng District and other surrounding districts, including the capital Gaborone, are disposed at this landfill.
