National Maternity Hospital

From this provider / About this provider: The National Maternity Hospital work from the premise that it is important for all women to participate proactively, to have continuity and to be able to make decisions about their own pregnancy and birth. From your first visit to the care you will receive having had your baby you will receive support, help and good advice from us. There are a variety of services provided for babies in the National Maternity Hospital. All of which are provided by the Department of Neonatology. A Neonate is the term for a newborn baby in the first 28days of life. The vast majority of infants are healthy and well and so after delivery are transferred with their mothers to the post natal ward until such time as they are discharged. However, approximately 10% of all infants born in the hospital will require admission (often brief) to the Neonatal Unit (NICU), for a variety of reasons. The National Maternity Hospital delivers gynaecological services to large numbers of women. These include services for the management of general gynaecological problems as well as individual clinics for the management of more specialist care.
