Women's and Babies Division

The WCH is South Australia's major provider of health services for newborn babies and  women in the area of reproductive health including maternity and gynaecological care.

Approximately 4500 babies are born in the Women's and Babies Division of the hospital each year. These births are spread across all risk groups.

In addition to the Obstetric service, the Women's and Babies Division has Neonatology Units and a small but busy Gynaecology Unit.

The Antenatal Diagnostic And Counselling Service (ADACS) coordinates the care of women with complicated pregnancies.

There are a number of models of care offered by the Division providing a number of choices for pregnancy and birth.

The gynaecology service is well recognised for leading the development of advanced endoscopic surgery and has other specialised services such as colposcopy, Family Advisory Unit and reproductive technology.

The Division is closely associated with the University of Adelaide Department of Obstetrics and is active in teaching medical undergraduates as well as postgraduates.
