Network One Health Notes https://hpmanyonga.co.za/notes Short notes from Network One Health: changes, public health messages, and how the network works. en-ZA Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT September: cervical cancer and PMOS awarenesshttps://hpmanyonga.co.za/notes/cervical-cancer-and-pmos-awareness-monthhttps://hpmanyonga.co.za/notes/cervical-cancer-and-pmos-awareness-monthThu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTFor patientsTwo things worth doing this month: book a colposcopy if you have an abnormal result waiting, and take a second look at irregular periods.Two health observances land in September. Both point to the same advice: a symptom you have been putting off checking is worth a second look this month.

If you have an abnormal cervical screening result

A colposcopy sounds bigger than it is. It is a closer look at your cervix, done in the same kind of chair as a Pap smear, and it takes about 20 minutes. Read exactly what happens, including what your result actually means.

If your periods have been irregular for months

PMOS, the condition long known as PCOS, is one of the most common reasons behind irregular periods, and it is manageable once it has a name. Read the PMOS Decoder for the full picture: symptoms, first tests, and your next step.

]]> Notes for clinicians: what we will send, and how oftenhttps://hpmanyonga.co.za/notes/notes-for-clinicianshttps://hpmanyonga.co.za/notes/notes-for-cliniciansSun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTFor cliniciansShort, occasional notes on how the network works, what has changed, and where the roles are. Never more than one a week, and you can stop them at any time.If you are on our clinician list, you will now get these notes by email as well as on this page. A short word on what they are, so you can decide whether to keep them.

What they carry

  • Changes that affect your patients: a new centre, a new referral route, a change to a number or a form.
  • How the network works: how roles are structured, how clinical work is paid, what comes back to you after a referral.
  • Programmes in design, while there is still room to shape the roles.

Nothing in these notes is a sales message. Where a note mentions money, it says plainly what is paid for and what is not.

How often

At most one a week, usually less. Routine notes go out on a weekly check of this page. Anything urgent, such as a number that has changed, comes separately and on its own.

Where to read them

Every note is published here first, and stays here. You can read them without being on the email list, and you can leave the list from any email without losing access.

Two links worth keeping
