The Peninsula Maternity Trust has embarked on a Centenary Campaign which aims to realise several key projects to ensure Mowbray Maternity Hospital continues to provide excellent maternal and neonatal services to its patients. The Centenary Campaign hopes to achieve various upgrades and refurbishments by 2016 (the Centenary year) which will allow the Hospital, going forwards into the next 100 years, to retain its reputation as the premier public service provider of neonatal and obstetric services in the country. All projects identified by the Hospital for the Centenary Campaign are related to equipment upgrades and infrastructure development and refurbishment. The projects are aligned with world-wide efforts to develop stronger communities through the Millennium Development Goals and to benefit the three key stakeholder groups of Mowbray Maternity namely, newborn babies, mothers and hospital staff.
Whilst Mowbray Maternity Hospital annually receives provincial funding for equipment and facility maintenance, the projects of the Centenary Campaign have resulted because of budget allocations being made to other sections of the Hospital. Inadequate funds have therefore, of necessity, forced the Hospital to seek private funding. The Centenary Campaign projects include (and are not limited to) an extensive upgrade of equipment and facilities in the Neonatal Unit, the Labour Ward and the Delivery Theatre; a refurbishment of counselling rooms and staff facilities, the creation of a crèche for staff children and a Mother’s Lodge.
