Soshanguve clinic launches weekly men’s health services
Story 1
The Block X Clinic in Soshanguve has introduced dedicated weekly healthcare services aimed at improving men’s access to medical care and encouraging early treatment.
Block X Clinic will now prioritise male patients every Wednesday as part of a new initiative focused on both physical and mental health support.
Healthcare workers say the programme is designed to address the low number of men who visit clinics regularly, despite facing higher risks of conditions such as heart disease and mental health challenges linked to stress and unemployment.
Men will be able to access consultations, screening services and speak to healthcare professionals in a more supportive environment aimed at reducing stigma around seeking help.
