LIMPOPO – The Limpopo Department of Health is urging males aged 10 and older to participate in its voluntary male circumcision campaign, launched as part of a province-wide effort to reduce the risk of HIV transmission and promote better overall male health.
Limpopo Health MEC Dieketseng Mashego officially launched the campaign on Friday, June 20, at the Evelyn Lekganyane Clinic in Boyne, just outside Polokwane.
The campaign will be rolled out across the province, with various hospitals and clinics offering free circumcision services.
