Gynaecology & Obstetrics

The Department of Gynaecology & Obstetrics at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology has been in function since the inception of Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre in 1973. The department used to have facilities of 2 labour rooms and a full-fledged maternity ward with trained nurses and other personnel related to obstetrics. The department was also the 1st of its kind to have an NST machine to record foetal heart rate during the antenatal period. It was also one of the few hospitals to acquire 2 ultrasound scan machines to diagnose patients in both obstetrics and gynaecology patients accurately.

The operation theatres were fully functional throughout the day, and facilities were available for epidural anaesthesia during labour. Spinal anaesthesia for C-sections and complicated cases were often referred from other hospitals because of the efficiency of the department.  This trend has continued since then, and the department has now become a high-risk pregnancy centre with consultants who specialise in foetal medicine. 

The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology offers a range of services, including preventive care, reproductive health, pregnancy care, childbirth, and postpartum care. The staff at the department is passionate about providing personalised care to each patient, and they work closely with patients to develop individualised treatment plans to meet their specific needs. 

The gynaecologists of Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre are also well-trained to make accurate cervix diagnosis for cervical cancer.

At Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, the surgeons of various specialities work closely in complicated cases to provide superlative service, especially in cases of diabetes, hypertensive, cardiac and thyroid disease.

The Ultrasound Department of the Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre now has sophisticated machines. The Department of Gynaecology & Obstetrics boasts of having a well-equipped ultrasound scan centre and a neonatal ICU. The Department of Genetics at the hospital also provides adequate support for the diagnosis of complicated pregnancies. 

The Gynaecology Department has had a facility for laparoscopy from the inception of this hospital. The hospital has been continuously upgrading its technology to keep abreast with the technology worldwide, making the surgeons highly skilled and experienced at performing operative laparoscopy. Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre provides this service during emergencies as well.  

The Department of Gynaecology & Obstetrics also features an endocrine unit which often employs the service of liver specialists to manage complex cases. The pathology lab is available 24 hours for any emergency. Blood workups and blood banks are also readily available at the hospital. Consultants are available 24/7 on duty in the department to deal with any emergency.

The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology also believes in promoting patient education resources to help women make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

The department is committed to advancing the field of gynaecology and obstetrics through research and education. The physicians at the department are actively involved in ongoing research studies and clinical trials to stay at the forefront of medical advancements and provide the best possible care to our patients
