MEC Mashego: A Champion for Women's Health and Empowerment

Health MEC Dieketseng Mashego

Limpopo Health MEC Dieketseng Mashego is making a tangible difference in the lives of women across the province. As part of the Women's Month commemorations, MEC Mashego visited Mankweng Hospital to monitor breast reduction surgeries, highlighting the department's commitment to improving the quality of life for women.

These surgeries are more than just cosmetic procedures; they address serious health issues such as chronic back and neck pain, poor posture, skin infections, and emotional distress faced by women with unusually large breasts.

By prioritizing these procedures, MEC Mashego is demonstrating her dedication to tackling often-overlooked conditions that have profound physical and psychological impacts on women. Her leadership style is centered around community empowerment and participation, ensuring that healthcare services meet the unique needs of women in Limpopo. MEC Mashego's visit to Mankweng Hospital underscores her compassion and commitment to women's health matters.

Beyond breast reduction surgeries, MEC Mashego has launched initiatives to improve healthcare outcomes for women. She has introduced HIV self-testing kits to increase testing among individuals who may be under-tested or hard to reach, aiming to reduce stigma and promote open conversations about HIV. Additionally, she has launched the Capricorn District Rural Health Matters outreach program to improve healthcare access and outcomes in rural areas.

MEC Mashego's commitment to women's health and empowerment is evident in her leadership style and initiatives. She has delivered clean, safe water to over 1,051 households in Madoana and Mashoana villages through two completed water projects. The municipality has also invested in transport infrastructure, with the 2.72km Bosehla–Thalane access road and stormwater control works already 65% complete.

As MEC Mashego continues to drive healthcare improvements in Limpopo, women can look forward to better health outcomes and a brighter future. Her dedication to women's health and empowerment is a testament to her leadership style and commitment to community development.
