The community systems strengthening team in Francistown engaged the community in a wellness event to bring health services to them. A growing crowd of men, women, and children gathered at the Francistown satellite south to be part of the wellness event where they did exercising activities, aerobics and many more.

The community system strengthening facilitators moved through the crowd distributing information about health programmes such as Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC), cervical cancer, TB/HIV and encouraged the community to get tested for HIV. Condoms were also distributed and demonstrations were done on how to use condoms as a prevention method.

ACHAP community health workers had the opportunity to do a health talk on TB, its transmission and how to prevent it. Other stakeholders that is, BOCAIP, DHMT offered HIV testing and counselling services and TB screening.
