A high-risk pregnancy is one that threatens the health or life of the mother or her fetus. Some pregnancies become high risk as they progress, while some women are at increased risk for complications even before they get pregnant for a variety of reasons. In our clinic we offer patients care from a special team of health care providers to ensure the best possible outcomes without complications. We follow up high-risk pregnancies including existing medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, overweight and obese patients, multiple pregnancies with their common complications such as include preeclampsia, premature labor, and young or old maternal age.

Menopause can happen naturally or as a result of some health conditions, medication or surgical procedures. Every woman experiences menopause differently. Sometimes these symptoms are hardly noticeable. But sometimes they may be very distressing for other women. Our clinic is dedicated to the needs and care of post-menopausal women. We conduct routine screening for gynaecological problems and breast diseases including routine PAP smears, mammography, bone density studies, endocrine and biochemical tests. Treatment is individualised to each woman depending on her needs. The clinic offers advice on medical therapies to help alleviate menopausal symptoms including hormone replacement therapy. In addition to information on lifestyle factors such as exercise and nutrition and sexual counselling.
