Our postnatal care is given to mothers and their newborns in the first six weeks after birth.

Postnatal care is very important for the health and wellbeing of you and your newborn baby. This type of care can help identify common complications, reduce infection after childbirth, and reduce the risks that prematurity or low birth weight carry.

What to expect from our postnatal care service

During postnatal care, we focus on routine assessments that will help identify and treat any issues for both you and your baby. This can include:

  • Assessments for bleeding and anaemia
  • Monitoring and treating infection
  • Identifying and managing postnatal depression
  • Support for breastfeeding
  • Support with nutrition
  • Counselling on birth spacing
  • Temperature and weight checks for baby
  • Counselling on physical exercises to improve recovery
  • Vaccinations
  • Referring babies with special needs for further care where necessary

After postnatal care, we’ll transition your baby to a young child clinic where any care needs will continue to be managed.
