Area
profile
In
mid-2006, as part of the health reform in Western Australia, King
Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) joined with other women’s-based
health services to form the new Women and Newborn Health Service
(WNHS), which is a part of the larger North Metropolitan Area
Health Service (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 statewide services such as BreastScreen WA, and other
specialist programs for women and babies.
