\u201cSo you are aware that our district has been battling teen pregnancy for a while now. There are a lot of interventions that have been put up by the district health office while working with various stakeholders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mchini Health Post was leading in terms of teenage pregnancies among urban facilities in the the country\u2019s fifth city. To this effect the Mr Chongo\u2019s office has held a field day on reproductive health aimed at curbing the problem in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we organised the adolescents of Mchini to conduct various adolescent-friendly activities in Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said during the field day, held under the theme: \u201cTogether For A Teen Pregnancy Free Mchini\u201d addressed issues affecting adolescents in that community. As a whole,1,120 adolescents were reached while 3,549 condoms were distributed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe young people used poetry, cultural dances and sketches to communicate messages. After the performances, people visited various booths where information and services were offered such as HIV testing services, contraceptives, information on mental health, GBV, alcohol and substance abuse,\u201d Mr Chongo said.<\/p>\n
