( S ) New Maternity Obstetric Unit (MOU) at the Du Noon Community Health Centre (1)

Western Cape Health MEC, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo officially opened the new Maternity Obstetric Unit (MOU) at the Du Noon Community Health Centre. The new 24-hour maternity service will ensure a full package of care is offered to pregnant women accessing services at the healthcare facility.
This service now ensures women can receive support throughout their pregnancy from as early in their pregnancy as possible, have quality basic antenatal care, and deliver their bundles of joy close to their homes instead of traveling to alternative sites.
Kangaroo Maternal Care, phototherapy for jaundice, and post-partum care are critical services offered at Du Noon MOU to mothers and neonates.
