Sean Newman, MD of Sexpo, says, “We are proud of our partnership with CANSA. This is our 10th anniversary and, with CANSA on board as our CSI partner, it shows how Sexpo has come of age and takes health seriously.”

Elize Joubert, CANSA CEO, adds, “We aim to offer visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to understand the different forms of cancer, specifically linked to sexual behaviour, by providing information and creating awareness regarding the two top female cancers as well as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). It’s all about lowering the cancer risk through education and offering screening.”

CANSA’s Mobile Health Clinic will be on hand to provide health information and screening such as clinical breast and skin examinations as well as offering healthy lifestyle risk assessments to Sexpo visitors. CANSA will also be on hand to answer any health-related queries visitors may need answered.

Bookings may be made through Computicket and are restricted to strictly over 18 years. Ticket prices are Thursday R100 (Silver), R250 (Gold) and Friday-Sunday R150 (Silver) and R250 (Gold).
