The Department of Health in South Africa leads national initiatives that aim to improve healthcare services and strengthen the wellbeing of communities. A key focus is improving maternal and newborn care by supporting healthcare workers with better training, information and clinical guidance.

Through programmes and digital platforms, the Department of Health also helps improve nurses’ clinical knowledge of maternal and newborn care by providing access to updated guidelines, health information and professional support. These initiatives help nurses deliver better care to mothers and babies, contributing to healthier pregnancies and safer births.

By strengthening the skills and knowledge of healthcare professionals, the Department of Health continues to improve the quality of maternal and newborn healthcare across South Africa.
