Wits RHI and Ekurhuleni District Launch the Men’s Corner Initiative

On 16 August 2024, Wits RHI, in partnership with the Ekurhuleni District, proudly launched the Men’s Corner initiative as part of the MINA campaign to enhance men’s health. The Men’s Corners are specialized areas within healthcare facilities designed to provide tailored health services for men. These spaces aim to address specific health needs, encourage proactive medical care, and dismantle barriers to access.

Staffed by multidisciplinary teams—including clinicians, coaches, health promoters, and counselors—the Men’s Corners focus on prevention, screening, treatment, and retention. Services offered include HIV/AIDS testing, TB awareness, general health screening, mental health support, and more. The launch event, led by the district, was a tremendous success and represents a significant advancement in improving men’s health services.
