Heart health campaign targets taxi drivers during SA’s awareness month

In September, South Africa marks Heart Awareness Month, focusing on the cardiovascular risks faced by taxi drivers. The Check My Beat campaign brings heart health screening and education directly to taxi ranks, culminating in a community screening at Bara Taxi Rank in Soweto on September 15. Cardiologist Dr. David Jankelow emphasizes that the working conditions of drivers make it challenging to prioritize preventive healthcare.
