Why uterine health must be central to Africa’s development

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Sindiswa Mzamo, Director and Global President of the Circle of Business Women about women's health with a focus on uterine health, from menstrual wellbeing to overall reproductive function and the ability to carry a pregnancy, an issue affecting millions of women across the continent, yet still too often spoken about in whispers. On the sidelines of the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, South African health leader Dr Vivian Mokome, alongside Fatima Moyane, led a high-level discussion calling for women's health to be recognised as a core part of primary healthcare rather than an afterthought, underscoring the importance of dignity, early detection and improved access to quality care, and reinforcing the need to place women's health at the centre of Africa's development agenda in line with Agenda 2063, arguing that economic growth and sustainable progress are impossible without prioritising the health and wellbeing of women. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
