M.Cur. / With reference to the question whether the interhospital transport of ill neonates in South Africa and more specifically in the Transvaal is adequate, a study was done in which the quality of the interhospital transport of ill neonates on the Witwatersrand was investigated. Criteria for the interhospital transport of ill neonates were formulated according to a literature review and they were validated. The quality of interhospital transport of ill neonates on the Witwatersrand was researched according to the formulated criteria. The case study method was used and was applied to neonates who were transported to a selected private- and provincial hospital by private- and provincial ambulance services between May 1987 and June 1987. Through the results of the study the researcher came to the conclusion that the interhospital transport of ill neonates on the Witwatersrand is inadequate. Recommendations which may contribute to the improvement of the transport system were made.
