SAWW HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAM:“We
must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe
to do right.” - Nelson Mandela
|
The women's health promotion program of activities support the health programmes and initiatives that enhance women's health in South Africa. The programme also facilitates linkages to other women's health promotion advocacy activities by other forward-looking health organizations globally. The programme is premised on the understanding that "...health is a resource for everyday living..." as noted by the World Health Organization. Thus South African Women for Women 's work in this area serves to enhance our work in other areas of support. As our Health
Program is of a developing nature we ask that you continue to visit

FUTURE
DIRECTIONS: Once we have identified the current health care needs of the South African Community, we will be able to implement and make the necessary changes to ensure that health care is at par with other privileged members of the South African community. Ultimately, we would like to work with members of the South African Community to establish the health and prevention health and delivery structure, which they need. This might include end products such as written materials, information, manuals, videos, websites and personnel. Currently, we are exploring a program supporting forensic testing for sexual abuse victims in South Africa, in collaboration with Sunnybrook Hospital and the Women's College Health Centre, which is recognized by the World Health Organization Collaborative Centre. This program is related to the HIV/AIDS testing and treatment support. |
