Botswana conducted NHA covering six fiscal years (2000/01, 2001/02 and 2002/03 in round one, and 2007/08, 2008/09, and 2009/10 in round 2). Total health expenditure has grown 30 percent since 2007/08, reaching US$444.66 per capita, one of the highest in the region.   Government consistently accounted about 70 percent of total health spending. The Government needs to focus on efficiency and equity in resource allocation between levels of care, geographic areas, functions, gender, and other characteristics of beneficiaries.
