Abstract Background Reports of healthcare-associated bloodstream infection (HA-BSI) epidemiology in African neonatal units are limited. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study (2017–2018) in nine neonatal units in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, including central, regional and district hospitals (416 beds) using laboratory and clinical records. Patient demographics, HA-BSI rates, pathogen spectrum, and hospital outcomes and empiric antibiotic coverage rates were determined. Results Over two years, 23,748 neonates were admitted with unit occupancy rates ranging from 79 to 93%. 485 HA-BSI episodes occurred, with median onset at 11 (IQR 7–24) days of life.
