What We Do

Obstetrics and gynaecology is concerned with women’s health – before, during and after the reproductive years.

Obstetrics focuses on childbirth, providing prenatal care and pregnancy support along with postpartum care. Gynaecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases.

Our doctors provide medical and surgical care to women and have specialist expertise in pregnancy, childbirth, fertility, family planning and disorders of the female reproductive system.

Combined training in both obstetrics and gynaecology is crucial because of the overlap between these specialties.
