UNJANI CLINIC OPENS NEW CLINIC IN PIETERMARITZBURG
Rapid growth and expanding patient base accelerate need for new location

Pietermaritzburg, 19 May, 2019 – Unjani is a sustainable initiative that aims to strengthen health systems in low-income communities throughout South Africa by empowering community nurses to own and operate their very own clinic within their community. There are several Unjani clinics across South Africa providing thousands of mothers and babies in poverty, access to treatment.

Knowing that healthy skin is critical to the development of healthier babies and with a common goal, JOHNSON’S® Baby launched The JOHNSON’S® Baby Healthy Skin Project, in partnership with Unjani Clinics. Since 2017, a number of Unjani Clinics sponsored by JOHNSON’S® Baby have been opened across low-income communities in Johannesburg, Gauteng. This

It is exciting to announce that it’s been nearly a year since the opening of New Hanover Unjani Clinic which was opened up to the community in November 2018. In their first month the clinic serviced 295 patients and 40% of these patients were children. The clinic is run and owned by Sister Nolwazi Dlamini and Lungisani Dladla who works as her clinic assistant.

New Hanover Unjani Clinic is situated in Pietermaritzburg at Umshwathi Sub-District under Ugungundlovu District in KwaZulu Natal. The clinic services New Hanover, Dalton, Cramond, Wartburg, Trustfeed, Mpolweni, Coolair and surrounding farms. Community leaders say they are enthusiastic about having a fixed health care service that serves the community. Sister Nolwazi maintains a high standard of professionalism and handles each patients case with dignity and respect.


The Partnership between the Unjani Clinics and JOHNSON’S® Baby aims to:

• Give thousands of mothers and babies in need access to treatment through Unjani clinics.
• Educate mothers about skin health for babies - through a mass awareness campaign that aims to improve overall health through better skin health for babies.
• Strengthen health systems in vulnerable districts by investing in Unjani clinics, contributing to the establishment of new Unjani clinics and providing training and resources for Unjani nurses.
• Work with dermatologists and healthcare influencers to educate parents on how to attain healthy skin for healthier babies.
• Sponsor JOHNSON’S® Baby products and educational material to improve skin health for babies in need.
