【 摘 要 】

This paper investigates the administrative and management pattern of the Road to Health Chart (RtHC) among nurses in randomly selected clinics in the Makhado municipality. Retrospective observations of the processes of recordings the nurses performed on the RtHC (ṉ=36) were carried out to collect data. A checklist was used to aid the observations. Furthermore, face-to-face interviews were administered with nurses in collaboration with document review. The results of this paper revealed considerable omissions on the administration and management of the RtHC among the selected clinics. Some crucial information was also incorrectly recorded while some was never recorded at all. It is recommended clinic managers develop monitoring instrument(s) to enforce compliance with the requirements of quality RtHC.
