    This year marks ten years of Penn working to improve the health of people in Botswana. Much has changed in Botswana since President Festus Mogae warned in 2001, “We are threatened with extinction. People are dying in chillingly high numbers.” The HIV/AIDS death rate in Botswana—once one of the highest in the world—has dropped significantly since that dire proclamation.

    Join the Penn Museum to hear Harvey Friedman, MD, Director of the Botswana-UPenn Partnership, talk about Penn’s role in treating HIV/AIDS in Botswana, new challenges to health in the region, and what we are learning about new ways to treat patients and populations in Botswana.
