South Africa’s Department of Health has launched a revolutionary wellness vending machine that provides a variety of wellness products, focusing on contraceptive options.

The machine operates through a unique three-step system where callers dial a toll-free number and receive guidance from a healthcare professional on contraceptive options. Once the caller selects a contraceptive, they receive a code to input into the vending machine to access their chosen option.

The project aims to empower young girls and women to manage their reproductive health and avoid unplanned pregnancies while eliminating the possibility of judgmental attitudes from healthcare practitioners.

Joining us to talk about this is the Co-Chairperson of the South African National Aids Council, Steve Letsike.
