PSMAS has started a new health check program. The program gives free medical tests to PSMAS members from Tuesday through Friday.
These tests look for early signs of long-term health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer. Finding these problems early makes them easier to treat.
The program checks men aged 45 and older for prostate cancer. Women aged 40 and older can have tests for breast cancer and cervical cancer.
Minister Monica Mutsvangwa says all women should take these tests. Many times, doctors find cancer when it has become hard to treat. Regular checks help doctors find problems when they can still fix them.
The government has bought medical equipment for these tests, which helps more women across the country access important health services.
First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa has helped bring cancer tests to farm areas. Her mobile units travel to places far from big hospitals.
Dr Tapiwa Chiworeka from PSMAS explains why these tests matter. The program wants members to take steps before they feel sick, and early tests can find problems before they cause harm.
Later this year, PSMAS plans to offer these tests in more places throughout Zimbabwe. This will help people across the country stay healthy.
