Nikki & Greg

On Sakhisizwe today, we were joined by Nikki Soboil - Executive director of SACTWU’s Worker Health Program and trainer - Greg Hoedemaker telling us more about the roll out of medical male circumcision for its members as of next month in the province. SACTWU’s Worker Health Program funded by PEPFAR launched its own roll out of surgical Medical Male Circumcision services within Kwa Zulu Natal at the end of last year in support of the National Department of Health’s comprehensive HIV prevention package and COSATU’s HIV/Aids prevention program. Free Medical Male Circumcision services are offered to all union members and their families as well as HIV awareness and education, HIV counselling and testing, STI screening and testing and safe sex messaging. For further information you can contact Nikki on (021) 448 5263 or Elroy on (021) 483 9934.
