Our expectant mothers are seen by a closely-cooperating team that represents the frontrunners of medicine and that is attentive to both the baby and the parents throughout the entire pregnancy. RMC Clinics is an outpatient and same-day surgery center, and as such we do not offer labor childbirth services. However, the doctors providing pregnancy care work in state hospitals, and there is also the option of private childbirth services with our contracted partner. For more information, ask your doctor.
After assessing our patients’ needs, we compiled the list of examinations and services that we offer in addition to the compulsory examinations in the given week of pregnancy.
