educational sessions on reproductive health for women
and girls in the city of Barro Alto.

Roberto Alvarado wears full personal protection equipment
(PPE) at Mantos Blancos copper mine in Chile.

and treatment for illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and TB.

screening at Metallurgical Coal’s Dawson mine in

villages takes many forms, including the Batho Pele mobile
health clinic, featured visiting a village, 80 kilometres away
from Kumba Iron Ore’s Sishen mine in South Africa.
