Midwifery Manager, Emma Cook says the new suite provides first-class surroundings for women birthing their babies. 

“We want our mums to have the very best experience at SJG Mt Lawley Hospital,” says Emma. 

“This includes providing a calm, comforting environment in our birthing suite. 

“What makes this refurbishment different is that the suite is the result of months of consultation and was specifically designed by our midwives for our mums. 

“The suite was completely gutted and we have started from the floor up with new fittings, furnishings and décor.” 

Ms Chris Hanna, Chief Executive Officer congratulated the midwifery team on their involvement in the design and function of the birth suite. 

“Our aim is to offer a boutique, private maternity experience for mothers and their partners.  The new birth suite reflects this ambition and is purpose-built for our midwives and obstetricians as they care for new families. 

“We wish our parents-to-be the very best and hope they enjoy staying at SJG Mt Lawley Hospital,” says Chris.
