Profile AI
Coronation Hospital is a public teaching hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, established in 1944. As a specialist mother and child institution within the provincial health system, it plays a central role in obstetric, neonatal, paediatric and women’s health services. The hospital serves diverse urban communities while contributing to clinical training and academic collaboration.
Research reflects a strong focus on maternal and neonatal health, including neonatal near miss, recovery after Caesarean section, and heat exposure impacts on pregnancy outcomes. Transdisciplinary projects explore biological pathways linking climate stressors to preterm birth, demonstrating leadership in climate and health research relevant to low resource settings.
Additional work spans paediatric surgery outcomes, HIV in infants, antimicrobial resistance, oncology in resource constrained contexts, and adoption of digital and AI tools in diagnostics. Contributions to national clinical guidelines further highlight influence on policy and practice. Together, these efforts position the hospital as a key driver of evidence based care in South Africa.
