title: Health care and developmental status of children and their families.
abstract: A description of the health care and developmental status of children from a database created from a study done in a rural community of a province in South Africa. One hundred and ninety-eight parents/guardians responded to questions from structured interview guide. Findings suggest that most of the children are healthy. There appears to be evidence of some progress since the end of apartheid. There, however, still appears that much more is needed to meet the needs of the population living in this rural community.
