Key Takeaways
Botswana’s life expectancy experienced a sharp decline from 61 years in 1990 to a low of 51 years in the early 2000s, primarily due to the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, a strong national response, including antiretroviral therapy programs and international support, led to a recovery beginning in 2004. By 2017, life expectancy rebounded to 67 years, demonstrating the effectiveness of healthcare interventions. Recent fluctuations reflect ongoing public health challenges but show a steady long-term recovery to 66 years by 2022.
