Speaking to HealthTimes, Mr Edmore Munyoro said men in general have a poor health seeking behaviour and the launch will try to address that.
Angels Foundation Zimbabwe has chosen June because of Father’s day that is celebrated yearly in that month as the organization aims to raise awareness on men’s health, mental health and well-being and encourage men to seek help in time rather than when it’s too late. As most men don’t seek health or mental health services in time, it has led to many lives been lost as many a times the disease/condition will have advanced, eg cancer or when a life is lost to suicide,” said Mr Munyoro.
He added that they have lined up two events to officially launch Men’s Month which are scheduled to be held on Saturday 18 June 2022 with a marathon to be held in the morning and a health talk session to be held in the evening, with both events having health checks for men as part of the package. The event venues and times will be announced in due course.
