✅ Entomological Survey: Assessing mosquito populations and identifying potential breeding sites.

Common malaria symptoms include fever, chills, headache, body aches and fatigue. If you experience these symptoms, particularly if you live in or have recently visited a malaria-risk area, seek medical attention promptly.

LIMPOPO HEALTH DEPARTMENT STRENGTHENS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The Limpopo Department of Health continues to strengthen mental health awareness, community participation and access to mental health support as part of its commitment to improving the well-being of communities across the province.

This commitment was reaffirmed during a mental health awareness campaign held at Lekkerbreek Primary School in Phagameng Township, Modimolle, Waterberg District, under the theme: “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Changes.”

The campaign brought together community members, healthcare users and various stakeholders and departmental partners involved in mental health programmes, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing mental health challenges.

Delivering the message of the day, Waterberg District Executive Manager, Mme Grace Bulannga, emphasised that mental health challenges can affect anyone, although individuals experience them differently. She explained that the district was selected to host the campaign, particularly in Modimolle, in view of the su***de attempts managed at FH Odendaal Hospital, underscoring the need for strengthened awareness, early intervention and accessible mental health support.

One of the highlights of the campaign was the testimony of Mr Klaas Chauke, a mental healthcare user receiving treatment at Phagameng Clinic. Drawing from his personal experience, Mr Chauke encouraged fellow mental healthcare users to adhere to their prescribed medication and avoid alcohol and substance abuse.

He shared that he commenced treatment in 2009 and has remained stable without relapse or subsequent hospitalisation. He also reflected on the medical care he received at FH Odendaal Hospital, including a successful operation to remove a tumour.

His testimony reinforced an important message: with appropriate treatment, consistent medication adherence, support and access to healthcare services, people living with mental health conditions can lead stable and fulfilling lives.

The Limpopo Department of Health calls on communities to break the stigma surrounding mental health, support those experiencing mental health challenges and seek professional assistance when needed.

Mental health matters. Every voice deserves to be heard, and every person deserves access to care, dignity and support.
