Meet the Visionaries Behind Riverside Hospital: Dr. Kgosidialwa Fredrick Mompati and Dr. Dorcas Onneile Mompati
At the heart of Riverside Hospital lies the extraordinary partnership of Dr. Kgosidialwa Fredrick Mompati and Dr. Dorcas Onneile Mompati. These esteemed co-founders have dedicated their lives to transforming Botswana’s healthcare landscape, building a legacy of innovation, compassion, and excellence. Their shared journey reflects a commitment to advancing medical services and uplifting communities both locally and across Africa.

Dr. K. F. Mompati: A Medical Pioneer and Advocate for Innovation.
Born in Serowe, Botswana, Dr. Kgosidialwa Fredrick Mompati has blazed trails in medicine, setting benchmarks for healthcare in Africa. After earning a Bachelor of Science from the University of Botswana and a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from MEDUNSA, he pursued advanced studies, earning a fellowship at the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh and a Master’s in Strategic Management from the University of Derby.
Dr. Mompati began his career with the Botswana Ministry of Health, where he served as a Medical Officer and Consultant Physician. Among his groundbreaking contributions was being one of the first in Africa to implement triple antiretroviral therapy in HIV treatment.
He has held influential roles such as Founding Chairman of the Botswana Drugs Advisory Board and led pivotal research in pediatric HIV treatment. In recognition of his immense contributions, he was awarded the Presidential Order of Honour in 2001.

Dr. D. O. Mompati: A Leader in Child Health and Healthcare Development
Born in Mookane, Botswana, Dr. Dorcas Onneile Mompati has built a remarkable career rooted in her passion for child health.
After earning her medical degree from MEDUNSA, she pursued specialisation with a postgraduate diploma in Child Health from the University of Cape Town.
In 1988, she established Tati River Clinics, laying the groundwork for what would become Riverside Hospital in 2007.
Dr. Mompati has contributed significantly to Botswana’s healthcare infrastructure, including the development of three renal dialysis centres and the introduction of a cancer wing to address critical health needs.
Beyond her clinical work, she has chaired the Water Utilities Corporation Medical Review Board and advised leading organisations on health and safety.
In 2007, she was honoured with the Presidential Order of Meritorious Service for her dedication to the nation’s healthcare.
A Vision Realised: Building a Legacy Together
The partnership between Drs. K. F. and D. O. Mompati began at Gaborone Senior Secondary School, where their shared values and ambitions took root. Starting with a modest clinic in White City, Francistown, they built Riverside Private Hospital, now a leading symbol of healthcare excellence in Botswana. Navigating regulatory and financial challenges, they remained steadfast in their mission to make high-quality healthcare accessible.
Today, Riverside Hospital employs 24 specialists, operates three renal units, and serves thousands of patients annually. Their work continues with exciting new projects, including expanding the hospital in Francistown South, enhancing their cancer wing, and establishing a kidney care training facility. Their vision is for Riverside Hospital to become a healthcare leader across Africa, ensuring their legacy endures for generations.
A Legacy of Dedication
Drs. Kgosidialwa and Dorcas Mompati’s journey is a testament to their enduring dedication, resilience, and unwavering belief in the transformative power of healthcare. Their work has touched countless lives, creating a foundation for excellence that Riverside Hospital continues to build upon today.
