Veronica Moshokgo
Dr. Veronica Moshokgo is a medical officer with over two years’ experience in primary health care. Upon completion of her undergraduate studies in medicine at Trinidad and Tobago, she decided to work with communities at the grassroots level to better understand the inequalities in health care distribution. She works with the Infectious Diseases Control Center which gives her a platform to educate people living with HIV/AIDS on risk reduction and acceptance. Dr. Moshokgo completed a Post Graduate Diploma in HIV/AIDS Management at the University of Stellenbosch. The program motivated her to participate in the FHI 360 LINKAGES Key Population Health Access Campaign through which she specifically brought health care services to men and women sex workers. Veronica is the co-founder and Vice-Chairperson of Bound By Love, a charity organization which provides long-term sponsorship and mentorship for underprivileged students. The organization has reached over 4,000 students in communities in Botswana through interactive motivational talks, group mentoring, academic counseling and career guidance. Veronica wants to focus on clinical research and health care policy making, analysis, monitoring and evaluation to decentralize and redevelop her country’s health care sector.
