Stroke is not just a health issue — it’s a human rights issue. We have the right to survive, recover, and live with dignity. #StrokeJustice #NCDs #EveryMinuteCounts @MoHCCZim @WHO_Zimbabwe @dr_douglas @CSOs4UHC @molokele @NicolaWatson13 @citezw @ParliamentZim @CWGH1

When people delay care due to unaffordable #HealthCosts, they risk longer-term or more serious illness. People are less productive, and demand for long-term care or welfare support goes up. On #UHCDay, leaders must guarantee the right to health for everyone! Join the campaign:

Champions Without Borders is calling on the government to allocate more funds to the Ministry of Health in the 2026 National Budget, saying increased investment is key to strengthening the country’s health system.

This is what we mean when we say access to health services is key.., what do you say about us the disadvantaged community? What do you say about maternity health services? We'll that's food for thought..!

Health care should never be a dream — it should be a right. 🌍 Yet 1 in 4 people worldwide still can’t afford the care they need. 💔 This #UHCDay, we’re standing together to demand action — because #HealthForAll is the key to #SustainableDevelopment.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Every minute, 4 women are diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide, and 1 woman dies from the disease. You can reduce your risk by: 🔸 Not smoking 🔸 Limiting or avoiding alcohol 🔸 Staying physically active via @UN_Women

2 billion people face financial hardship paying for health care, often instead of food, education or housing. That’s 1/4 of the world’s population! This #UHCDay, we'll be calling on leaders to invest in #UHC to protect the right to health. Get involved in the campaign! 🔗

Approximately 99% of breast cancers occur in women and 0.5–1% of breast cancers occur in men. The treatment of #BreastCancer in men follows the same principles of management as for women https://t.co/7TPzee2v0x

Many in Zimbabwe — especially persons with disabilities and those in rural areas still miss out on essential health care they can’t afford. This #UHCDay, let’s urge leaders to make #UHC a true reality for all. 🇿🇼 #HealthForAll #LeaveNoOneBehind @MoHCCZim @WHO_Zimbabwe @CSOs4UHC

#WorldMentalHealthDay 1.3M people in Zimbabwe live with mental illness. 2.8% experience anxiety.⚠️1 in 5 are at risk of common mental health disorders. These are not just numbers. They are lives. #Stigma, silence & limited care are major barriers. Mental health is a human right.

When someone’s emotional distress starts affecting their daily life—work, school, relationships—they must have access to mental health care. Healing shouldn’t be a solo journey 💙 #MentalHealth matters https://t.co/Gf5CECYeJY #WorldMentalHealthDay

🧠 #MentalHealth gets just 2% of health budgets—unchanged since 2017 🧠 Spending: >$50 in rich nations, <$1 in poorer ones 🧠 Only 13 mental health workers per 100K people globally. This is a global equity crisis 🚨 #WorldMentalHealthDay

the Month — breaking barriers for women with disabilities in breast cancer care. “Inclusion isn’t charity. It’s justice.” Accessible clinics. Affordable care. Equal voices. Because Health Costs Hurt — and Inclusion Saves Lives. #ChampionOfTheMonth @PaidamoyoDanda1

Too many women face the same story: delays, unaffordable tests, and late diagnoses. 💔 We can change this. ✅ Affordable screening ✅ Accessible diagnostics ✅ Timely treatment Because health costs should never decide who lives or dies. #HealthCostsHurt #BreastCancerAwareness
