GREATER TAUNG SUB-DISTRICT LAUNCHES ADOLESCENT AND YOUTH FRIENDLY SERVICES AT IKOTLHAENG MAHURA

On 28 August 2026, the Greater Taung Sub-District Health launched Adolescent and Youth Friendly Services (AYFS) at Ikotlhaeng Mahura.

AYFS is a dedicated service designed to provide adolescents and young people with accessible, confidential and youth-friendly healthcare services at health facilities. The services include dedicated nurses, consultation rooms and “Happy Hours”, creating a safe and welcoming environment where young people can freely access healthcare information, counselling and services.

The launch aims to strengthen healthcare services for adolescents and youth, with a particular focus on addressing challenges such as teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) through education, prevention, early intervention and access to appropriate healthcare services.

The launch was attended by Kgosi Ikotlhaeng Andrew Mahura and members of the traditional leadership, educators, SAPS, social workers, as well as coordinators and representatives from the Greater Taung Sub-District.

The Greater Taung Sub-District Health encourages adolescents and young people to make use of AYFS and take charge of their health and wellbeing.

Your health. Your future. Your choice.

Winter Burn Awareness

During winter, many families use heaters, candles, paraffin stoves, hot water and open fires to stay warm. While these help us fight the cold, they can also increase the risk of burn injuries, especially among children. Burns can happen at home within seconds and may cause serious harm if we are not careful.
To stay safe, keep children away from hot objects and open flames, never leave candles unattended, switch off heaters when not in use and handle boiling water with care. Keep matches and lighters out of children’s reach and make sure electrical appliances are used safely.
If someone gets burned, immediately cool the burn under clean running water and seek medical attention if necessary. Let us all work together to prevent burns and keep our homes safe and warm this winter.
