The paediatric primary health care nurse project in Soweto.
The in-service training of paediatric primary health care nurses at Baragwanath Hospital, and the implementation of this project with health care teams in the Soweto clinics, is discussed. Appropriately trained members of the community can provide better comprehensive primary care, and optimal use is made of available manpower. Similar schemes in other parts of the world are briefly considered.
