Men’s health is one thing that has been ignored since time in memorial. The African society has defined a version of the “perfect men” and this has affected how man act and behave in society.

Men are facing a health crisis which is not being talked about in the African society. Men’s mental health in Zimbabwe is a matter of concern. Being told to be a man throughout one’s upbringing and also in adulthood reinforces the idea that men ought to be tough and deal with issues on their own. This may come as a surprise, but Zimbabwe is among the countries ranked high with suicide rates in the world.
