title: Health manpower planning in Botswana.
abstract: Health manpower planning, launched in Botswana with external assistance, has resulted in a plan designed to meet national staffing needs up to the year 2002. The authors describe how the plan was developed, despite constraints such as the absence of a plan for the health sector as a whole, and explain why certain planning methods were chosen in preference to others.
