Men have higher rates of premature death and unhealthy behaviours, according to the World Health Organisation and through listening to the compelling stories of our panellists we aim to evoke the desired change to help men realise the importance of seeking support and looking after their health.
Men's Health Week is a significant event aimed at raising awareness of preventable health issues and encouraging early detection and treatment of diseases among men and boys.

It serves as a reminder for men to take charge of their health and for families, communities, and healthcare providers to support men's health initiatives.
