Area Profile
In mid-2006, as part of the health reform in Western
Australia, KEMH joined with other women's based health
services to form the new WNHS, which is a part of the
larger NMHS.
With dedicated staff and best practices based on the
most current evidence-based medicine, WNHS continues to
deliver first-class health care to women and infants in
WA.
KEMH is the State's only tertiary maternity and
gynaecological hospital and treated its first patients in
1916. Today more than 6000 births take place at the
hospital every year and it is WA's only major referral
centre for high-risk pregnancies. KEMH also has a
state-of-the-art Special Care Nursery, designed to care for
premature and sick infants.
KEMH also cares for approximately 5000 women with
gynaecological conditions each year - from urological and
cancer related problems to sexually transmitted diseases
and reproductive disorders.
WNHS also offer a maternity and gynaecology unit at
Osborne Park Hospital (OPH) which provides gynaecology care
and obstetric care to women with low to moderate risk
pregnancies. Women may choose to receive care at OPH
for general convenience whilst receiving equally
specialised care at a smaller suburban site.
WNHS manages several state wide services such as
BreastScreen WA, and other specialist programs for women
and babies.
