A Heartfelt Thank You from the Manchester Health Fair! 🩺💙
Organised by CHPNet UK, the Manchester Community Health Fair held on Saturday, 5th July 2025 at Gorton Market was a vibrant celebration of wellness, community, and proactive healthcare — with over 100 attendees engaging in vital health conversations and screenings.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us — from families and youth to healthcare professionals and community leaders. 🙌
👥 A special thank you to Dr Councillor Sherita Mandongwe of Moston and New Moston, Manchester, who inspired attendees and encouraged young people to embrace healthy lifestyle choices through meaningful interaction and support.

🗣 In her keynote address, Dr Chim Kalumbi, President of CHPNet UK, called for a bold shift in healthcare delivery:
“It’s time for a paradigm shift. Health professionals must not only serve behind clinic doors but go into communities, interact with the people, and promote real engagement. That’s where change begins.”

• Women’s & Men’s Health
