Dr. Lorato Seboni

Dr. Lorato Seboni is a specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist at Bokamoso Private Hospital, one of Gaborone's leading private healthcare facilities and a key provider of specialist women's health services in Botswana. Over 12 years of practice, Dr. Seboni has established herself as one of the country's accomplished gynaecological surgeons, with particular expertise in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures and comprehensive antenatal care.

Botswana's healthcare system has made significant strides in recent decades, and Bokamoso Private Hospital reflects the country's growing private sector capacity. Dr. Seboni's practice benefits from the hospital's modern operating theatres and advanced obstetric monitoring equipment, allowing her to manage complex obstetric and gynaecological cases to a standard comparable with regional centres in South Africa.

Dr. Seboni's clinical interests include the management of uterine fibroids — a condition with high prevalence among women in Botswana — endometriosis, and cervical pathology. She is also experienced in managing HIV-positive pregnancies, an important clinical competency in Botswana given the country's HIV prevalence, and works in close collaboration with the infectious disease and HIV medicine teams to optimise outcomes for mother and baby.

Dr. Seboni completed her MBChB at the University of Cape Town Faculty of Health Sciences, one of Africa's leading medical schools. She returned to Botswana for early postgraduate clinical experience before undertaking advanced specialist training in the United Kingdom, where she completed her MMed (Obstetrics & Gynaecology) and was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (FRCOG). During her UK training she gained proficiency in advanced laparoscopic techniques, foetal medicine, and colposcopy. She returned to Botswana committed to bringing internationally trained skills to the private healthcare sector in Gaborone.

Dr. Seboni provides full obstetric care from antenatal booking through to postnatal follow-up, including the management of high-risk pregnancies such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and multiple pregnancies. She performs caesarean sections, instrumental deliveries, and manages obstetric emergencies. In gynaecology, she carries out laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and ectopic pregnancy, as well as laparoscopic and open myomectomy for uterine fibroids. She performs hysteroscopy for uterine cavity assessment and treatment, LLETZ (large loop excision of the transformation zone) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and initial fertility assessments for couples experiencing difficulty conceiving.

Dr. Seboni maintains active membership in the Botswana Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, participating in their continuing professional development programmes. She has contributed to internal clinical audit activities at Bokamoso Private Hospital focusing on caesarean section indications and maternal outcome monitoring. She has presented at the Southern African Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' annual congresses, sharing her experience in managing fibroid surgery and HIV-positive obstetric cases in the Botswana context.

Dr. Seboni consults in English and Setswana and is well placed to serve international patients, diaspora visitors, and patients from the wider Southern African region. Her FRCOG qualification and UK training background give confidence to patients accustomed to British and international standards of care. Bokamoso Private Hospital has an international patient service and is a popular choice for patients from Zimbabwe and Zambia seeking higher-quality private care in Gaborone. Dr. Seboni can review overseas medical records and coordinate pre-operative assessments for planned procedures for patients travelling from abroad.

Dr. Seboni is a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (FRCOG), one of the most prestigious qualifications in women's health medicine internationally. She is recognised within Bokamoso Private Hospital as a leading gynaecological surgeon and is an active member of the Botswana Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, where she contributes to standards development for obstetric and gynaecological practice in Botswana.
