NATIONAL PRIDE FLAG TOUR | JOHANNESBURG EDITION
“How do we continue and move forward with the important work?”
On 17 August, Anova Health Institute hosted the Johannesburg stop of the National Pride Flag Tour, in partnership with Aurum POP INN programme. The tour creates an important platform for dialogue, collaboration and renewed commitment to inclusive, people-centred healthcare for LGBTIQ+ people and other Key Populations.
As a sub-recipient of The Aurum Institute under the The Global Fund Cycle 7 programme, Anova was proud to host this important engagement. The tour aims to strengthen collaboration among stakeholders, build public confidence in available health services and promote greater awareness of inclusive, stigma-free healthcare.
We were honoured to be joined by our own Dr Diana Mokoena, Gladys Chabalala, Co-Chairperson of the Gauteng AIDS Council and Provincial Chairperson of the Gauteng SANAC Civil Society Forum, Gauteng LGBTIQ+ sector leader Meisie Motaung, and partners including OUT Wellbeing, Best Health Solutions, the City of Johannesburg District Department of Health, Khoroni Men’s Forum, beneficiaries and members of the community.
The Johannesburg stop provided an opportunity to celebrate the progress we have made, acknowledge the challenges that remain, and reaffirm the importance of strong partnerships, community voices and accessible, inclusive and stigma-free services.
The work continues. And we move forward together.
