To recognise the important role played by nurses, the Western Cape Department of Health will host its annual Cecilia Makiwane Recognition Awards for nurses on Friday, 30 October 2009.

The award was named after Cecilia Makiwane, the first black nurse to be recognised by government almost a century ago and is an initiative of the Ministry of Health, in partnership with provincial departments.
