While the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 reported that there has been an improvement in the antenatal care coverage and usage of modern contraceptive method maternal mortality is still amongst the challenges. The MDG6 reported that HIV prevalence has been stable and there seems to be a decline between the ages of 15- 24 years old from 10 to 8.5 per cent in 2008. Millennium Development Goals 4 acknowledges the fact that the infant and child mortality rate is unacceptably high in South Africa compared to international levels. The committee supports the interventions such as immunisations, prevention from mother to child HIV infection which has been undertaken by the Department of Health. This will assist to reduce child mortality, enhance nutrition and primary health care. The Committee supports the proposed spending which will focus on improving the monitoring of women and infants after child birth, upgrading support and training paediatric and maternal workers in district hospitals.
