University of KwaZulu-Natal graduate Pumla Ntikinca is proud that at 75 she still drives and has achieved her master's degree in nursing.

Ntikinca, who is also a retired midwife, said: “I was more involved in teaching; I did not work for long in the practical field. But the advantage is when you teach theory, you have to take your students to the field and supervise them.

Her research found that “pain did not receive primary attention as an indication of neonatal discomfort”. “This poses a challenge to the long- and short-term health of the neonate and needs to be recognised in midwifery nursing curricula,” she added. “Advanced midwives need to know the intricacies of observing and nursing a newborn during the critical stage, that is the first eight days of life, which are very important. All of us don’t have enough knowledge on this,” she said.
