Nationally, it is one of South Africa’s quadruple disease burdens. The Sustainable Development Goal 3, 2030 targets related to maternal and child health (MCH) were implemented to reduce the rate of mortality. The interventions that led to reducing mortality rates during the Millennium Development Goals era, such as improved access to quality healthcare services and skilled healthcare workers, need to be scaled up and accelerated to achieve the SDG 3 targets. As easily accessible frontline healthcare workers, pharmacists play an essential role in the continuum of care for MCH as guided by international and local regulatory health bodies. However, studies have shown that pharmacists feel ill-prepared and uncomfortable rendering MCH services, attributed to most pharmacy schools’ curriculum content and teaching methods.enMaternal and child healthPharmacy undergraduatesHigher educationAntenatal careUniversity of the Western CapeUniversity of the Western Cape
