The district stretches from the Umfolozi River, near Mtubatuba in the south, to the Mozambiquan and Swaziland borders in the north. To the east it borders the Indian Ocean with 175km of pristine beaches, to the north it borders Mocambique and Swaziland. Further south it is bordered by Zululand District to the west and Uthungulu District to the south. The district contains the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park (now known as Isimangaliso – ‘the miracle’) World Heritage Site, and Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Mkuze, Ndumo and Tembe game parks. The southern tip of the Lebombo Mountains and the adjacent East African coastal plain begin in the district, stretching north up to eastern continental Africa.
The Department of Health has 5 district hospitals in the district: Manguzi, Mosvold,Mseleni, Bethesda and Hlabisa. All five hospitals were originally missionary hospitals which became nationalised around 1980. The hospital doctors are generalists, many with special interests. Despite not having specialist posts, the hospitals all perform surgery including caesarean sections, and offer excellent opportunities for surgical and anaesthetic experience. Supported by the hospitals are 52 residential clinics staffed with primary health care nurses. Most of these clinics are visited twice monthly by medical and paramedical staff.”
