Area Profile

In mid-2006, as part of the health reform in Western Australia, KEMH joined with other women's based health services to form the Women and Newborn Health Service (WNHS), which is part of NMHS.

With dedicated staff and best practices based on the most current evidence-based medicine, WNHS continues to deliver first-class health care to women and infants in WA.

KEMH is the State's only tertiary maternity and gynaecological hospital. It treated its first patients in 1916. More than 6000 births occur at the hospital every year and it is WA's only major referral centre for high-risk pregnancies. KEMH also has a state-of-the-art Special Care Nursery for premature and sick infants.

WNHS also offers a maternity and gynaecology unit at Osborne Park Hospital (OPH), providing gynaecology and obstetric care to women with low to moderate risk pregnancies. Women may choose to receive care at OPH for convenience while receiving equally specialised care at a smaller suburban site.

WNHS manages several state-wide services such as BreastScreen WA and other specialist programs for women and babies.
