HIV and AIDS Prevalence
Jwaneng Town like other mining towns is
prone to the effects of HIV/AIDS and other
related diseases. It has negatively impacted
on human capital, reduced economic
productivity and continues to threaten
investments and national savings as
resources are diverted to providing
comprehensive quality treatment, care and
support. Although great progress has been
made in the district with efforts of
reversing the impact of HIV, the current
prevalence rate of 12.4% is still considered
high. Therefore plans are in place to
i n t e n s i f y t h e i m p l e m e n t a t i o n o f
programmes geared towards combating
the spread of the epidemic.
