Maternity Services

Above and beyond standard antenatal care

At Our Lady of Lourdes Mwea Teaching and Referral Hospital we believe that our goal is to walk the journey with you, in confidence before, during and after delivery. Normal Delivery and CS Delivery are fully covered by SHA. Our antenatal clinic runs every weekday and is staffed by experienced midwives. They will assess your pregnancy, ensure all necessary measurements and tests are carried out, while scheduling your revisits as appropriate.

In the event of delivery via Caesarean section, we have three operating suites and a doctor-on-call to ensure timely surgery. Whereas we always pray for a healthy baby to be born, in the unfortunate event of a sick baby, we have adequate incubators in our new born unit to cater to them.

High-risk pregnancies that are complicated by other conditions such as diabetes, hypertension (pre-eclampsia) or venous thrombosis (blood clots) will benefit from the multi-disciplinary care of our specialist doctors.

Our Approach
Our obstetricians are on hand to advise on any queries or complications that may arise. Above and beyond standard antenatal care, the team will help you develop a suitable birth plan. Come delivery day, our maternity ward is equipped with ample labour, delivery and post-natal beds.

In the event of delivery via Caesarean section, we have three operating suites and a doctor-on-call to ensure timely surgery.

We have specialist gynaecologists who attend to women’s health problems such as painful periods, fibroids, vaginal itchiness or discharge as well as any growths along the birth canal or the ovaries.

Our gynaecology clinics that run on Wednesday from, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
