Gynecology and Maternity Wing,
Ground Floor
At the Gynecology and Maternity Center, we have two maternity wards where women are referred after a normal birth or a caesarean section. Once you're settled in the postpartum ward, you'll have access to plenty of helpful information and workshops on baby care, breastfeeding, and more.
In May 2020, Maternity Ward A was reopened after renovations. The new department was built to high standards and includes spacious and luxurious private and double rooms. Read more about the opening of the new maternity department.
Visiting hours in maternity wards
We kindly request visitors adhere to the designated visiting hours, as it allows new mothers to rest and bond with their baby. Visiting hours are: 11:00-13:00 and 16:00-21:00.
The spouse or one companion is welcome to stay with the mother day and night, without any restrictions.
Meals
In the department, we serve meals tailored and adapted specifically for breastfeeding women, with a focus on providing high-quality and nutritious food. Meals are aserved at 08:00, 12:00, and 18:00.
Duration of your hospital stay
After a normal or assisted / instrumental delivery, and without any complications, you'll be able to go home within 40-48 hours. However, if you had a caesarean section, the discharge will happen within 72-96 hours.
If any complications arise after giving birth (such as fever or anemia), we will conduct tests and provide treatments based on your condition. Rest assured that you will be discharged once your medical condition permits. During your hospital stay, your baby will be by your side.
Preparing for discharge from the hospital
To take your baby home, you need to come prepared. This means bringing a pram or stroller, making sure there's a safety seat in the car, and dressing your little one appropriately for the weather with a hat, socks, and a blanket. Once you arrive home, don't forget to give a copy of the discharge letter to both the pediatrician at the health insurance and the Tipat Halav nurse. It's also a good idea to announce the birth and schedule a visit to Tipat Halav within three days from the day of discharge.
