MMC Eunice Mgcina is using the month of February to cast the spotlight on the perils of unhealthy lifestyle choices and to encourage joburgers to routinely check-up against HIV/Aids, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and tuberculosis (TB).
Cllr Mgcina notes that modern-day habits have spawned an entire family of lifestyle diseases, and the City is providing public health interventions to help residents combat this from getting worse.
“We’ll undertake several activities during this month in all our healthcare facilities to highlight the importance of regular screening, testing and continued adherence to medicine intake,” she says.
