Infrastructure

Our medical equipment is the best of its kind, whether for ultrasound or for monitoring childbirth.

Our 40-year-old wards could admittedly do with a facelift but every room enjoys magnificent views. Our staff’s professionalism and personal approach are more important than 5-star luxury. At the end of the day they are what count.

For all those for whom their child’s safety is paramount: Our neonatology unit is located right next to the Birth Center and can take care of your child within seconds if necessary.

Individual daily routine and visiting times

We allow for the notorious overlap between day and night in the early postnatal period by providing a breakfast buffet from 7.30 am through 9.45 am. We’ve also introduced a ‘Don’t disturb’ period between 12.15 pm and 1.00 pm to help mother and child recover from the stress of the preceding days free of all staff intervention except if medically indicated.

Visiting times on the labor and postnatal wards are from 1 pm through 8 pm daily. Our private beds welcome visitors 24/7.

Upgrade options

• Albergo
  Standard insurance cover guarantees you a double-occupancy room or, if available, a single-occupancy room for an additional charge. Those with supplemental cover always take priority in room allocation, while continuing to receive standard medical care. If you are semi-privately insured, you can switch to a single room for an additional charge. Private insurance always ensures priority in room allocation.

• Medico
  Those with standard cover can opt to be looked after by the senior Birth Center obstetrician or by one of the three attending obstetricians for a booking deposit based on the anticipated private care fee (itself governed by the tax regulations applicable to such fees).
