title: Providing dermatologic care in Botswana.
abstract: Dermatologists practicing in countries with limited resources are faced with multiple challenges, including medication unavailability/affordability, infrequency of clinics, and illiteracy. We share our experiences providing care in dermatology clinics throughout Botswana. We discuss the challenges we faced and several of the solutions we implemented. Lessons learned are applicable to similar resource-limited settings in Africa.
