Addington Children’s hospital on Durban’s beachfront was built in 1928 and was the first hospital for children on the African continent. In 1984, at the peak of the huge combined internal and international struggle against Apartheid, the Hospital was closed by the government of the time.
The KZN Children’s hospital, will be a source of national pride and a particular
achievement for KwaZulu-Natal. It will be part of the creation of a provincial ‘first’ Health Precinct
and proposed inner city regeneration project that will address adolescent and child health and
welfare issues, poverty and urban renewal in Durban’s inner city.
The KZN Children’s Hospital will be re-established as a ‘Specialised‘ PROVINCIAL children’s hospital i.e. a comprehensive paediatric and adolescent health hub for treatment, prevention and care, including rehabilitation, palliative care, psychological and social benefit support services, community outreach and training, all of which are relevant to South Africa and to the African continent.
