The gynecology and obstetrics department looks after women's reproductive health and supports mothers through pregnancy and after delivery.
About this department
Gynecology deals with the health of the uterus, ovaries and related organs at every stage of life, from the first periods to menopause. Obstetrics is the care of a mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth and the weeks that follow. Many women see the same doctor for both.
