On 29 September 2016, Professor George Patton from the University of Melbourne, who led the Lancet Commission, was joined by several South African experts in adolescent health to discuss the Lancet Commission\u2019s report on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing which was launched on 10th<\/sup> May 2016 in London.<\/p>\n

The expert panel at the South African launch, facilitated by SAFM Radio Host Tsepiso Makwetla, confirmed\u00a0that people concerned with the health of adolescents in South Africa are reaching similar conclusions as the Lancet Commission and showing, in many instances, how they are already acting in areas that\u00a0the Commission recommends. For example, South Africa has good research capacity in developing and testing interventions for adolescents, that globally are not (yet) being addressed. The launch took place as part of a meeting which collaboratively developed an implementation research agenda on adolescent health programmes in the country.<\/p>\n
