Gynaecology Day Care Department

About the department

In the Gynaecology Day Care Department, we diagnose, treat, and perform surgery for a variety of gynaecological conditions that do not require overnight monitoring. We carry out a range of minor gynaecological procedures and operations under anaesthesia.

Patients attending this department are generally those who recover quickly. They usually stay in the department for a minimum of four hours before being discharged to continue their recovery at home.
