Women who are about to give birth should call the Admissions Line before going to the Women's Clinic. The Admissions Line is for acute conditions and should primarily be used to notify us that the birth has begun and that you are on your way to the clinic.

Do not call the Admissions Line concerning matters that are not acute or that can wait and that can be discussed with your general practitioner, midwife or the Public Medical Ward.
