Good Shepherd Mission Hospital in Siteki, Swaziland, is owned by the Catholic Diocese of Manzini under the leadership of His Lordship Jose Luis Ponce De Lion. It is governed byGoverning Board and was established in 1949, by the Catholic Church in Swaziland.
However, in 2009, the Hospital was transformed to a Government Parastatal under Category A of the Public Enterprises. The Governing Board is now composed according to SCOPE rules and regulations.
The main aims and objectives of the Hospital is to promote the concept of healing and wholeness in a Christian spirit as a state of physical, mental and spiritual well being as provided in the constitution of the World health Organization.
It was then that a need to develop another cadre called Nurses aides was observed, and the first training was offered to the orderlies who had an interest in the Nursing profession. Classes were conducted during the evenings since during the day the Hospital had to operate fully.
However, as demand for this cadre increased, day classes commenced in 1972, whereby the Baphalali Red Cross offered a syllabus called “Home Nursing”, and conducted examinations in line with the syllabus.
The program covered a period of nine months with better guidance in the practical work. As time progressed, the syllabus continued to be upgraded, and currently, the Program runs for a period of two years, and is now accredited by the Swaziland Nursing Council. Each year the Nursing School graduates more than 60 students for work in Swaziland and Internationally.
