Community Health Days: A Holistic Approach
The graduation ceremony was more than just a celebration of academic achievement. It was a platform to highlight the broader well-being of the community. Concurrent with the ceremony, Community Health Days were organized, bringing essential healthcare services right to the doorstep of residents. This collaborative effort, involving Kwakha Indvodza, Lobamba Clinic, AHF Eswatini, Bantwana, and the Mbabane Municipality’s Department of Public Health, ensured that 74 individuals received the care they needed.
Beyond physical health, the event also focused on prevention and education. Our emajaha were equipped with knowledge about healthy lifestyles, disease management, and preventive measures. The Royal Eswatini Police Services played a crucial role in sensitizing the community about crime prevention, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to well-being.
