Botswana-Baylor Children’s Clinical Centre of Excellence Trust (Botswana-Baylor Trust) is a national general care and treatment facility that provides services in Gaborone, Botswana. We serve children, adolescents, and young adults and their families from around the country. Our services include treatment for HIV and associated infections and now extend to oncology care and treatment for patients nationally. Also, we act as a major research hub contributing valuable information to the international HIV and oncology communities.
Botswana-Baylor Trust is a public-private partnership between the government of Botswana and Baylor College of Medicine International Pediatrics AIDS Initiative, which was launched in June 2003. The Center of Excellence, the first of its kind on the African continent, is located on the campus of the Princess Marina Hospital, the largest tertiary care referral hospital in Botswana. Botswana-Baylor Trust provides free-of- charge, state-of-the-art pediatric HIV, oncology, and blood disorder care, treatment, and support to children, adolescents, and their families at the main clinic in Gaborone and through decentralized outreach services across the country. Botswana-Baylor Trust is a leader in the field of pediatric HIV and cancer care in Botswana, the Southern Africa region, and beyond.
In 2009, Botswana-Baylor Trust received the Vision 2016 Award for making “a significant contribution toward building a compassionate, just and caring nation.”
