Sharing my experience as a Health Advocate

By Valentine Gugu Xaba 

Health Advocate 

It is easier to advocate for other people and help them be in control of their own health, as the phrase goes if you have good health you have everything

Being part of the Wits Health Hubb program has made a significant impact in my life, as a young person living with high blood pressure I had limited information about the illness but now I'm proud to say my knowledge has improved so does my health. I have absorbed vast knowledge, It took only one healthy conversation in a taxi and a life was impacted. It warmed my heart to hear from a community member thanking me, the impact is visible not only to me but my community as well. I can now lead a healthier lifestyle and maintain my blood pressure. It is easier to advocate for other people and help them be in control of their own health, as the phrase goes if you have good health you have everything.
