BACKGROUND: The fact that most sub-Saharan Africa countries including South
Africa (SA) are not on track to meet the 2015 target of improving maternal,
neonate and child health (MNCH) is a major public health concern. The aim of this
paper to give an overview of the current state of MNC deaths in SA, their
relative causes, highlight challenges, existing opportunities, progress made and
future prospects. METHODS: The overview involved a synthesis and review of recent
data and information from key national representative peer reviewed articles and
grey literature from the National Department of Health and related stakeholder
reports. RESULTS: Since 1990 the situation in SA aroused a lot of research
interest in tracing the historical context of the problem, evaluating progress
made and actions for improving MNCH. In 2009 the SA government established three
national committees for confidential enquiry on MNC deaths. Multifactorial
systems' related challenges were identified. Subsequently, the new National
Strategic Plan for MNC and Women's Health and Nutrition has, in addition to
provision of comprehensive interventions, been linked and aligned with efforts to
strengthen the health systems particularly through the re-engineering of the
Primary Health Care (PHC) services and district health systems. CONCLUSION AND
GLOBAL HEALTH IMPLICATIONS: The overview gives an insight of the process that has
influenced MNCH policy and programs in the country. The SA experience and current
MNCH situation may be different compared to other African countries, however, the
political commitment and government stewardship coupled with critical and yet
complimentary research is exemplary, especially, given several global and
regional plans and commitments to improve MNCH in the continent.
