In Lesotho, the healthcare system was not prepared to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic as there was inadequate PPE and community transmission became a problem because there was a backlog of tests, delaying the results of Covid-19 tests.This study aimed to explore and describe the experiences of HCPs on the management of the Covid-19 pandemic in Lesotho. An explorative descriptive qualitative design was used to collect data from healthcare professionals who were purposively sampled from five health facilities and took part in focus group discussions. Written informed consent was sought from the participants who voluntarily took part in the study. They were allowed to ask to questions and could withdraw from the study without any repercussions. Constant comparison analysis was used to analyze data and presented using themes, subthemes, and categories.Covid-19 caused unpleasant emotional effects among healthcare professionals as they feared to become infected and were faced with stigma and discrimination in their own families. They had limited protection from Covid-19 as there was inadequate personal protective equipment and they could not effectively separate patients who came to the facilities. The support they received varied and not adequate to address their needs during the pandemic. They lacked information about the pandemic, did not received any psychological support, and they felt that more assistance could have helped them better manage the pandemic.It remains crucial for healthcare professionals to be empowered with the correct and accurate information, personal protective equipment, and psychological support when faced with pandemics like Covid-19.
