In Botswana, there are as few as 10 physicians per 100,000 people and even fewer dermatologists, all of whom are in large urban areas [3,4]. Currently, there are approximately 4 dermatologists practicing in the public health sector in Botswana to support a population of 2 million people. Primary care providers in Botswana have limited training in dermatology and face challenges in treating complex dermatologic conditions and successfully referring patients to specialists [5].
