Have you gotten your Len yet? Lenacapavir is available at 133 selected facilities across Gauteng. It is an important option for HIV prevention, and you must take an HIV test before starting it. Remember, condoms still protect you against STIs and unwanted pregnancy. 🛡️
Stay protected and take charge of your health.

For the past 10 years, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital has been restoring the gift of hearing through its Cochlear Implant Programme, performing more than 300 life-changing cochlear implant procedures.
Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
Through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with About Sound, additional funding has been secured to support cochlear implant procedures, enabling more patients to access this life-changing intervention. Building on Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital's well-established cochlear implant programme, this partnership will significantly strengthen access to hearing restoration services.
Today, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital CEO, Dr Nthabiseng Makgana, joined former Miss South Africa @MiaLeRoux20 on Jacaranda FM's Good Morning Feel Good breakfast show in support of the Cochlear Implant Project through the About Sound initiative. Ahead of Mandela Day, the initiative secured funding that will help restore the gift of hearing to even more patients.
@jacarandafm team also prepared and served warm soup to our patients, demonstrating that compassion, dignity and service remain at the heart of healthcare.
Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital extends its sincere appreciation to About Sound, Jacaranda FM, Mia le Roux and every partner committed to changing lives through collaboration.
This partnership is a powerful reminder that when the public and private sectors work together, we can expand access to specialised healthcare and create lasting impact for the communities we serve.

You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.
Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.
Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.
If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.
Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.

The Gauteng Department of Health is strengthening HIV prevention efforts with the rollout of Lenacapavir, a long acting HIV prevention injection administered once every six months and now available at 133 healthcare facilities across the province.
We are currently at Chiawelo Community Health Centre in Soweto, where young people, key populations, sex workers and people who inject drugs, among others, are being initiated on Lenacapavir. This innovative prevention option is expanding access to care and offering a more convenient choice for individuals who may find it difficult to use daily prevention methods.

Bandile Galeboe’s mother, Barbara Galeboe, vividly recalls every moment of her son’s courageous journey. From the day he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a common form of primary bone cancer, through the years of treatment, to the triumphant moment he beat the disease.
She expressed heartfelt gratitude to the entire Paediatric Oncology Unit at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital for the exceptional care, support, and compassion shown to her child throughout this difficult path to recovery.
Bandile’s story is a powerful reminder that early detection, quality healthcare, and strong family support can turn hope into healing.
