Home Based Health Care Skills Programme Training

KZNPPHC established a Training Academy in 2009. Intake is 3 times a year and depends on a minimum of 25 learners per class. NPPHCN was a national network which drew membership from across all health and allied professional and civil fronts. Membership came from professional bodies/Associations, the general community, students and civil structures.

At the heart of the Advocacy and Lobby Agenda for NPPHCN was the struggle for health care which responded to the needs of the majority. Under the Apartheid regime, most health care services were centralised and almost entirely curative, and therefore inaccessible and did not address the conditions of the impoverished people, especially rural communities, particularly women. Oppressed citizens had no say in their own health care and women were denied relevant essential care.
