The Gauteng health department has launched an expanded Ronald McDonald House Charities lactation facility at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Soweto.
The initiative aims to:
- promote exclusive breastfeeding;
- support maternal and infant health; and
- provide safe, dignified spaces for mothers to express milk.
This is particularly vital for premature and ill babies admitted to the hospital’s neonatal care units.
