New building for Women and Children at Mduku clinic

The new building was donated by American based Audrey Irmas Foundation for Social Justice with the assistance of a nature conservation non-profit
organization, Africa Foundation which is working closely with the Phinda Private Game Reserve & Beyond.

The excitement of the community and staff members was overwhelming as the new building was handed over. The clinic committee played a vital role in securing the donation for the extension of the clinic.

The health department applauded the community initiative as it is also enforcing its care for women & children, this is proven by the fact that each hospital in UMkhanyakude has an obstetric ambulance which is only for women and children.

Furthermore, Phila Mntwana Centers have been rolled out to the community for achieving maximum care for the children.

In terms of infrastructural development,  the newly built Hluhluwe Clinic, which will fall under Mseleni hospital, is expected to be completed in March 2014.

The UMkhanyakude District is also expected to have its first Community Health Centre (CHC) which is hoped will start operating in 2015 for the
community of Jozini.  The department of health is continuing to fight diseases, fighting poverty, and giving hope.
