The Neonatal ward 22 was moved from ward 18 because it was going to be demolished. The staff also raised the challenge of short staffing. The Committee was informed that there were nine sisters covering the day shift instead of the required 15. The nursing staff also informed the Committee that the ideal situation would be to have one nurse for each occupied bed. The ward was also used as a nursery. The Committee was also shown the Kangaroo Mother Care Unit, which was also part of ward 22. Babies who did not need ICU were admitted to the ward. The challenge that was highlighted by staff was that mothers were coming to the hospital without being referred. They also informed the Committee that they sometimes had very young mothers, most of them 16 years of age, but some were 12 years old.
