pregnancy / obstetrics
We have seen the number of babies delivered at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital (CHBH) Maternity increase from 15,385 in 1998 to more than 23,000 in 2007. This represents an increase of more than 49% in that time period. An audit was conducted to determine which deliveries truly needed to happen at CHBH, leading to the introduction of the Triage Referral Programme in the maternity unit.
