TEMCO's 130-bed specialised hospital is sited within the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport Special Economic Zone (SSKIA SEZ).

The location matters for the economics over the 25-year operating horizon. Qualifying developments in the zone benefit from the statutory framework: 0% customs duty on qualifying medical equipment, free profit repatriation, no exchange controls, SEZA-serviced land, and licence validity of up to 50 years. The licence carries no export condition, so the hospital is free to treat Batswana and regional patients alike.

The hospital is sited beside an international airport, which is why the catchment is regional. By 2029 a patient from Lusaka, Harare or Johannesburg who needs specialist care can fly direct to Gaborone and be at the hospital ninety minutes after landing, at 25 to 35 per cent below South African private rates. Those patients pay in foreign currency, and healthcare joins tourism and minerals as something the country exports.
