Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr.K.Uma, Head of Department
The Department Of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at SMF is committed to championing women’s health care. We provide obstetrics, gynaecologic and reproductive health care to women of all ages in the local communities through excellence in clinical care, education and research. All the senior consultants have more than 25 years of experience in the field and have worked together as a team for more than two decades.

Milestones

We specialise in high-risk obstetrics with support from the paediatrics, anaesthesiology, general medicine and ICU teams. We are a referral centre for obstetrics. We conduct regular audits on Caesarean section rates, term infants’ NICU admissions, and infection rates following deliveries and surgeries. All these rates are well within the acceptable limits as laid down by international societies, and we attribute this to following recognised guidelines in our practice.
