p Great honour for local hospital N
etcare Cuyler Hospital in Uitenhage has for the third consecutive year received the highly sought-after Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) accreditation following the recent, annual reassessment of the hospital. The BFHI is a joint initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) and The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The accreditation programme aims to protect, promote and support breastfeeding and quality infant care within hospitals across the globe. It also seeks to recognise and encourage medical facilities that have demonstrated excellence within their maternity units. “The strategy for BFHI implementation in South Africa states that reassessments must be conducted every year in order to determine whether the accredited hospital and its staff members continue to adhere to the criteria of the initiative,” explains Victor Mutle, general manager of Netcare Cuyler Hospital. “If there are any areas of non-compliance, the accreditation may be revoked. However, if BFHI standards are upheld, the hospital retains its accreditation.” Becoming a BFHI accredited facility in 2015 was a significant development for Netcare Cuyler Hospital. “Retaining the accreditation for 3 years since then is a marvellous reflection of our staff and management’s passion for quality mother and baby care,” said Mutle. “It is a great honour to be counted among those facilities that continue to meet the criteria and the hospital staff and management were overjoyed upon receiving the news,” he added.
