As we ease into the weekend, we’d like to gently remind you to pause and check in with yourself.

Cervical cancer awareness isn’t about fear, it’s about care, prevention, early detection, and honouring the body God has given us.

So as you rest and recharge this weekend, remember this: your health matters, and taking care of yourself is never something to postpone.

Communities play a powerful role in shaping men’s mental health. From workplaces to churches, sports teams, and families, the environments men move through can either support or suppress their wellbeing. Normalizing conversations about mental health can create safer spaces for men to share their struggles and seek help early. As a medical center, we encourage employers, community leaders, and families to promote understanding, compassion, and open dialogue. When we lift the pressure off men to be ‘unbreakable,’ we give them permission to heal, grow, and thrive. Together, we can build a healthier Zimbabwe for every man.
