“When these doctors come, they will stop us from sending patients to countries like India and South Africa,” said Kabi. Kabi said the Queen ‘Mamohato Memorial Hospital was the only one where patients had been transferred to the country.
He further added that if the hospital did not have the specialists that the patient needed, the patient would be transferred to South Africa.

“The doctors we have signed with from South Africa are Basotho children and with the help of the supplies, we have renewed our agreement,” Kabi said. Lesotho calls for doctors in India Ntsoaki Masoto
