Paratus launches connectivity for clinics, community centres

MBABANE – Paratus Group has launched Paratus Connect2Care.

This is an innovative initiative providing affordable, high-quality satellite internet to empower health centres and community centres in Botswana, Eswatini, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda and Zambia.

Through Paratus Connect2Care, eligible institutions will gain access to 2TB of Priority Data, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity. Powered by Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology and backed by Paratus’ in-country support, Paratus Connect2Care delivers reliable, fast and stable internet to those who need it most.

Unlike traditional satellite systems that operate thousands of kilometres above the Earth, Starlink’s LEO satellites orbit much closer, reducing latency and enabling high-speed internet even in the most remote and hard-to-reach locations.

This means health centres and community centres far from fiber or mobile network coverage can still access critical online services without compromise.

“Connectivity is a lifeline for healthcare providers and community organisations,” said Paratus Group CEO, Schalk Erasmus.

“With Paratus Connect2Care, we are not just delivering internet – we are delivering the means to save lives, strengthen community services and create lasting impact in areas where it’s needed most. This is about connecting with purpose and connecting to care.”
