The Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA) recently highlighted two of its most successful funded enterprises, both of which are making progress in Botswana’s health sector.

Established to promote citizen-owned businesses across all sectors through accessible and affordable financial assistance, CEDA was founded by qualified nephrologist Dr Gagoitsewe Saleshando in Gaborone.

Established in November 2008, the hospital specialises in chronic kidney healthcare services, offering peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis to patients with end-stage renal failure. It has become a premier service provider in the field of kidney disease. With CEDA loans totalling over P13 million over the years, the institute now boasts two branches in Gaborone and has expanded its services to Molepolole and Kang.

The facility currently serves over 2000 government-sponsored patients, receiving haemodialysis treatment through a referral system from Princess Marina Hospital.
