Higher Health in partnership with Durban University of Technology’s hosted a First Things First Testing campaign at Steve Biko Campus as part of their Orientation Programme for first year students. As seen in the photos, our Campus Health and Wellness Coordinator, Ms. Nonkhanyiso Xaba, strikes a pose with Mr. and Miss Condom at the DUT Steve Biko Campus Orientation Programme for first-year students.
As we celebrate STI and Condom Awareness Week from February 10th to 16th, 2024, we’re not just raising awareness; we’re taking action! This week serves as a vital reminder to prioritize sexual health, reduce STI transmission, and combat the spread of HIV and AIDS.
Let’s empower our students with knowledge and resources to make informed choices. Using condoms isn’t just about preventing unwanted pregnancies; it’s a crucial step in safeguarding against sexually transmitted diseases. Together, let’s promote health, safety, and wellbeing on our Campuses!
Furthermore, Ms. Nonkhanyiso Xaba and Ms. Pinda Ndamase from the Communications Department presented the invaluable health and wellness services offered by Higher Health to the first-year students attending the Orientation.
From addressing mental health concerns to combating gender-based violence, drug and substance abuse, and HIV prevention, our presentation highlighted the comprehensive support available at Higher Health to ensure our students thrive both academically and personally.
