C-sections can be life-saving when medically necessary. But today, many are performed without improving health outcomes — putting women and newborns at risk of short- and long-term complications. Midwives help reduce unnecessary caesarean births and other interventions by supporting physiological birth and providing personalised care that protects health and prevents harm. They also ensure that women who do need medical interventions are referred to the right specialist, at the right time. But the world is short of . This , join the call to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce. Sign the petition.

I had a great discussion on Power FM last night about ending cervical cancer in South Africa.

Cervical cancer is our #1 cancer killer of women, yet it is almost 100% preventable. We focused on why the 2026 HPV Drive is a game-changer:

* One Dose: New science proves one dose is enough to protect our Grade 5 girls for life.

* The Science: We discussed how HPV hijacks cells and how the vaccine stops that "hijack" before it starts.

* Self-Sampling: Screening is now easier and private with HPV DNA self-swabs.

Parents, please sign those consent forms. Let’s make this the last generation to suffer from this preventable disease.
