BRINGING HEALTH SERVICES CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE!

The Ministry of Health Eswatini, through the Health Promotion team, National Malaria Program and TB Program, with support from WHO, took health services right to the community of Ntsinini under Mhlangatane Inkhundla.
From malaria and TB services to NCD and cancer screening, community members received vital health care and health education all aimed at promoting early detection, prevention, and healthy living.

Remember: Malaria is caused by mosquitoes: watch out for symptoms such as fever, chills, or headaches, and seek medical help immediately. Early treatment saves lives.

A big thank you to all our partners including Taiwan ICDF and community members who made this outreach a success. Together, we move towards a healthier Eswatini!

Let’s End Polio – Every Child, Every Vaccine, Everywhere!

The Ministry of Health Eswatini , through the Health Promotion Unit and the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), with support from WHO, UNICEF, and other partners, continues to champion the fight against polio in Eswatini and beyond. As we mark World Polio Day 2025 under the theme “End Polio: Every Child, Every Vaccine, Everywhere,” we celebrate the tremendous progress made and renew our commitment to protect every child from this preventable disease.

Polio is a highly infectious virus that mostly affects children under five, spreading through contaminated food or water and leading to lifelong paralysis or even death, but the good news is, it can be completely prevented through vaccination!
To all Parents and caregivers, the power is in your hands! The polio vaccine is safe, free, and available at all health facilities across Eswatini.

Check your child’s Health Card and make sure all vaccines, including polio, are up to date. Every dose given is a step closer to a polio-free Eswatini. Let’s protect our little ones, our communities, and our nation. Together we can end Polio.

PM leads by example! Today at the Prime Minister’s Office in Mbabane, His Excellency the Hon. Prime Minister Russell Dlamini led by example by participating in key health services, including nutrition screening through BMI and waist circumference, NCD screening through the HbA1C diabetes test, and blood donation, where he once again rolled up his sleeve as an active donor.

He encouraged his staff and all government ministries to embrace these initiatives, donate blood, and prioritize their health, emphasizing that knowledge empowers informed decisions.

The Premier also engaged with health teams on a wide range of services such as TB screening, HIV awareness with emphasis on PrEP, and cancer prevention, with a strong focus on the elimination of cervical cancer by 2030. He toured the ICDF stall, TB, AHF Baylor Clinic and cancer screening trucks, raising important discussions on prostate cancer and stressing the need to make education and prevention louder and more visible in communities.

In his remarks, the PM expressed gratitude to all partners driving these initiatives and called for greater investment in cancer research to uncover root causes and strengthen prevention strategies.

He reminded all health care workers that integrity, transparency, and accountability must remain the foundation of health programs: “Let’s own these initiatives, donate blood, embrace healthy living, and raise our voices for TB, HIV, and cancer awareness. Together, we can shape a healthier and brighter future for Eswatini," he stated.

The Ministry of Health Eswatini Health Promotion Unit, in collaboration with Taiwan ICDF, hosted a vibrant School Health Promotion Day at John Wesley School.

Over 800 learners from primary and secondary levels joined in energetic aerobics sessions and interactive health talks on NCD prevention, Healthy Eating, Sexual Reproductive Health issues amongst the youth, Cancer with a major focus on Cervical Cancer, Mental Health, and Drug and Substance Abuse. Learners were also inspired by a drama on the dangers of drug and substance abuse performed by Waterford School.

A special highlight of the day was the HPV vaccination drive, where more than 50 girls aged 9–20 received the vaccine to protect against cervical cancer. We encourage more young girls to get vaccinated and parents to support them. Together, we are building a healthier, smoke-free generation and working towards the elimination of cervical cancer by 2030. A special thanks goes to the School Management and Teachers, MOH programs SRH, NCDIMH, EPI, School health and our partners SAfAIDS, TAVI and EBCCN.

The Ministry of Health Eswatini, through Health Promotion Unit and in partnership with the Nurses in Leadership Project funded by PEPFAR through CDC, is hosting a week-long workshop to strengthen risk communication skills among nurses and other health care workers.

The initiative responds to the urgent need for improved emergency communication to ensure safer workplaces and effective responses to emerging health threats.

This was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, when gaps in timely, accurate and consistent communication significantly affected frontline responses.
