Obstetrics and gynaecology at R.R. Healthcare runs pregnancy care and delivery — including caesarean section in the modular operation theatres, with the NICU on the same campus for the baby — high-risk obstetric care, and the gynaecological and reproductive side: irregular or heavy bleeding, fibroids, prolapse, infections, ovarian cysts, conception problems and family planning.
Pregnancy care, and why it is a schedule rather than a series of visits
Antenatal care works because it repeats: the same measurements, the same blood pressure, the same blood and urine checks at the right weeks, so a change shows up as a change. Registration early means anaemia, blood group, thyroid status and gestational diabetes are found while they can still be managed, and the scan dates fall where they are meant to. A woman arriving in labour for the first time at 39 weeks with no records is a safer patient than she looks — which is the argument for booking early.
Conditions treated
- High-risk pregnancy
- Infertility

The scans, and the blood panel
Both halves of antenatal care are done on this campus: the blood-and-urine panel at the booking visit, and the scans timed against the weeks they belong to. The scans are read by the sonologist who performs them, which is the practical reason an anomaly report here comes back in the same session rather than in a week.
- NT scan
- Level II anomaly scan
- 3D / 4D ultrasound
- Colour Doppler for the fetus and the uterus
- Growth scans through the pregnancy
Your visit, step by step
- Register for antenatal care with the papers the hospital asks for, or book a gynaecology consultation for the complaint you came about.
- Each visit: blood pressure, weight, the measurements that belong to that week, and the blood or urine test due at that stage — done in the in-house lab rather than sent out.
- The birth plan discussed before labour, not during it: who will be with you, feeding, pain relief, what happens if a caesarean becomes necessary.
- After delivery: the mother reviewed before discharge, the baby seen by the paediatric team, and the six-week check kept even when everything felt fine.
What to bring to an antenatal or gynaecology visit
- The antenatal file, every time, from the first registration onward. This is the record the next visit is measured against, and a labour ward without it is a labour ward working from memory.
- Previous scan reports, the blood group card, and the discharge summary of any earlier delivery, caesarean or operation.
- For a gynaecological complaint: the pattern written down — how many days of bleeding, how many pads, how long the cycles have been irregular, and any medicine already taken for it.
- Identity proof for the patient and for the attendant who will sign, plus insurance or GIC papers if maternity cover is part of a policy. Registering those at admission is straightforward; reconstructing them a week later is not.
Questions the desk gets asked
An elective caesarean is scheduled by the obstetrician, against the gestational age and the operation list, not by request. If a date matters to your family, say so at the antenatal visit and you will be told what is realistic — and what the baby loses by being born early for a convenience that is not medical.
The ward allows a limited number of attendants, and that rule exists for infection control and for the other women delivering the same night. It is settled at registration with the nursing station, which is also where the birth plan — pain relief, feeding, who is called if a caesarean becomes necessary — is discussed before labour rather than during it.
The NICU is on this campus. That is the whole reason a complicated delivery here does not become a two-vehicle problem: the paediatric team sees the baby in the same building, and the mother does not have to be separated from an infant who needs monitoring. Where a newborn needs a level of support the campus cannot give, the transfer is arranged with a doctor and equipment going with the baby, never in a private car with a discharge slip.
Where this clinic sits in the hospital
Pregnancy care uses the same laboratory, imaging and operation theatres as every other department, and paediatrics sees the baby after delivery. Bleeding, leaking fluid before labour, or markedly reduced movement are casualty presentations at any hour — and internal medicine is involved where a pregnancy arrives with diabetes, hypertension or a thyroid problem already on it. Maternity bills and cashless formalities are on the insurance page.
Bleeding or flooding in pregnancy, leaking fluid before labour starts, noticeably reduced movement from the baby after 28 weeks, severe headache with blurred vision or swelling of the face and hands, regular painful contractions well before term, breathlessness after delivery, or fever with pain after a delivery or a miscarriage: come to casualty immediately. These are not waited out until the next clinic day.
Labour ward visiting follows the number of attendants the ward allows, and the rules are there for infection control and for the other women delivering that night. Ask the nursing station at registration rather than on the day.
