The mission is to build better futures through the delivery of health care, education and social services. We embrace a culturally diverse community and provide the highest quality care.

The Child Health Care Centre aims to be a centre of excellence supporting and empowering communities to continually improve the health, wellbeing and quality of life of children and their families, now and for the future.

The centre will promote good health practices, preventive action, early detection and early intervention. It considers that:
• The early years of children's lives have a significant impact on their physical, behavioural and social development later in life.
• Many conditions and common problems faced by children are preventable or can be improved if they are recognised and managed early.
• The best results are achieved where professionals work in close partnership with parents who are supported and empowered to make the best choices for their children.
• Supporting and strengthening community-based professionals and organisations ensures the best chance of good outcomes for children and their families.
• Academic institutions can play a major role in contributing to public policy, as well as facilitating integration and continuity between preventive and curative health care, and between hospitals and community-based services.

UCT seeks to establish a Pre Natal Medical Care Centre it will be open to all expectant mothers in the Baby Sponsorship Program and those mothers who fall under the umbrella of the project.
