Bobonong overwhelmed by ARV recipients

Bobirwa senior sub-tribal authority, Kgosi   Ezekiel Joel Masilo told the World AIDS Day Commemorations that Bobirwa has been one of the most affected areas in the country when it comes to HIV/AIDS. He noted that Selebi-Phikwe statistics have been very high and transfers of those on treatment overwhelms and outstretches the medical services offered by Bobonong health facilities.

Kgosi Masilo advised the community to be vigilant because the sprouting projects in the village may also have an impact in the spread of HIV/AIDS if caution is not exercised. He said these developments call for health education to be intensified and warned that if developments are not well managed they can contribute to the increased statistics. Also of concern to the chief was the high level of teenage pregnancy, which he noted indicated that unsafe sex is practised, thus increasing the spread of the disease.
