✨ 🎉🤝 NERCHA proudly joined the commemoration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which aligned with Parliament Wellness Day. ♿💙
This special occasion reminds us that disability is not inability and that wellness is for everyone! 💪🌱 Together, we continue to advocate for equal opportunities, accessibility, and a healthier, inclusive society for all.
NERCHA National Executive Director was represented by Dr. Bongani Masango, the Director of HIV Response and Coordination who commended parliament for championing wellness among parliamentarians and staff, setting an example for the nation.
Dr. Masango on behalf of the NED, said, “Through its legislative and oversight mandate, it also ensures that disability-inclusive policies are passed, funded, and implemented across all sectors, including health and HIV. As we implement the National Multisectoral HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework (2024–2028), NERCHA is committed to ensuring that no one is left behind, whether they live with a disability, live in remote areas, or face social and economic challenges. A transformed response requires accessible services, stronger referral pathways, inclusive communication materials, and the active participation of persons with disabilities in shaping programs.”
The Deputy Prime Minister Senator Thuli Dladla commended NERCHA for being part of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities and highlighting the need to remove barriers that hinder persons with disabilities' access to HIV services.
