Organ and Tissue Donor Month

In South Africa, August is officially recognised as Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Month. This month is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation and encouraging more people to register as donors. The Department of Health, in collaboration with various organisations, uses this time to intensify efforts to educate the public and address the critical shortage of organ donors.

National Women’s Day

In 2025, National Women’s Day in South Africa will be celebrated on Saturday, August 9th, as part of Women’s Month.

The theme for this year’s Women’s Month is “Building Resilient Economies for All”.   The day commemorates the 1956 women’s march on the Union Buildings in Pretoria, where over 20,000 women protested against the pass laws.

During Women’s Month we celebrate women as active agents of change and social transformation. The commemoration also allows us to take stock of achievements and the challenges that remain while mobilising support for the further development of women.

National Women’s Day draws attention to significant issues African women still face, such as parenting, domestic violence, sexual harassment in the workplace, unequal pay, and schooling for all girls. It can be used as a day to fight for or protest these ideas.[8] Due to this public holiday, there have been many significant advances. Before 1994, women had low representation in the Parliament, only at 2.7%. Women in the national assembly were at 27.7%. This number has nearly doubled, being at 48% representation throughout the country’s government.[9] National Women’s Day is based around much of the same principles as International Women’s Day, and strives for much of the same freedoms and rights

World Hepatitis Day

The World Hepatitis Day 2025 theme is expected to focus on increasing access to testing and life-saving treatments for hepatitis. The theme is also expected to emphasize the importance of challenging the stigma associated with the condition and promoting understanding of hepatitis. The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed the theme “Invest in eliminating hepatitis.”

World Hepatitis Day is marked internationally on 28 July and is one of the World Health Organization’s nine official global public health days. Green is used by the global NOhep movement – the colour of life, vitality and progress.
