The PHSDSBC team had the opportunity to join the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health for World Environmental Day activities in the province.

The event brought together stakeholders to raise awareness around environmental responsibility and the importance of creating healthier, cleaner and more sustainable communities.

It was also a valuable opportunity for the PHSDSBC to connect with fellow stakeholders, strengthen relationships and engage around issues that contribute to the wellbeing of employees and the communities they serve.

We appreciate the opportunity to be part of an initiative that encourages all of us to play our part in protecting the environment and building a healthier future.

On 30 September 2026, the PHSDSBC team had the opportunity to visit Addington Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal for an exhibition and engagement with employees.

It was a great opportunity to meet employees, have meaningful conversations and share more about the work of the Council and the role we play in supporting employees across the Public Health and Social Development sectors.

Engagements like these allow us to connect beyond the office, listen, share information and make sure employees know where to find support when they need it.

Thank you to the Addington Hospital team for welcoming us and making the engagement a meaningful one.

STOP FEMICIDE

Behind every statistic is a woman, a daughter, a mother, a sister, a colleague or a friend whose life matters.

Femicide and gender-based violence continue to affect women and communities across South Africa. We cannot become desensitised to the loss of women’s lives or accept violence as part of our society.

Stopping femicide requires all of us to speak up, challenge harmful behaviour, support those experiencing violence and help create communities where women and girls feel safe, respected and protected.

At PHSDSBC, we recognise the important role that our workplaces, healthcare professionals and communities play in creating awareness, offering support and standing against violence.

Let us choose to speak up. Let us choose to support. Let us choose to protect.

Together, we can help build a society where every woman and girl can live free from violence.

Mental health is an essential part of overall health and wellbeing. This Mental Health Awareness Month, PHSDSBC encourages individuals to prioritise their mental wellbeing, recognise when support may be needed and seek appropriate professional assistance when necessary.

Creating greater awareness starts with open and respectful conversations. By listening, supporting one another and reducing the stigma associated with mental health, we can contribute to healthier and more supportive workplaces and communities.

We also recognise the important role played by healthcare professionals in providing care, guidance and support to individuals experiencing mental health challenges.

Take care of your mind. Start the conversation. Seek support when you need it.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month | Early detection can save a life.🎗️

Breast cancer remains an important public health concern, making awareness, early detection and access to appropriate healthcare essential.

This month, PHSDSBC encourages everyone to be proactive about their breast health. Regular self-awareness and checking for unusual changes can help identify potential concerns early. If you notice any changes, consult a healthcare professional for appropriate assessment and guidance.

Breast cancer is not limited to women. Men can also develop breast cancer and are encouraged to be aware of any unusual changes and seek medical attention when necessary.

We recognise the dedication of our doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who continue to educate, support and provide care to patients and communities across South Africa.

Know your body. Be aware. Act early.
