Maternity Tours Update
The safety of our patients, staff, visitors, and doctors is always our top priority. We have been proactively planning and implementing a comprehensive response to the evolving COVID-19 situation in Australia. In light of recent developments, a decision has been made to postpone our maternity tours for the time being. We will provide an update with new information in the coming weeks. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you have any queries please contact our Maternity Liaison Officer - wangsi@ramsayhealth.com.au
Mitcham Private Hospital is committed to planning and providing a comprehensive childbirth and parenting program to prepare parents for the birth of their child. Our educators are all experienced midwives and currently also work in our Maternity Unit.
