Our maternity unit has visitor restrictions in the interest of you and your baby’s safety

Therefore we are currently only permitting the partner of mothers and baby to visit our Maternity Unit.

All other family members and friends are now NOT permitted to visit the Maternity Unit.

Our Antenatal and Postnatal Unit visiting hours are

2.00pm to 4.00pm and 6.30pm to 8.00pm daily.

In the best interest of our new mums, all visitors will be deterred outside of these hours. Please avoid disappointment, please plan your visiting around these times.

For security reasons, our hospital is locked at 8pm with no access allowed for anyone.

• Partners are subjected to COVID-19 screening on arrival to the hospital, and if they are clear, will be given visitors access.
• Partners will be asked to leave the hospital, if displaying any signs or symptoms of temperature, sore throat, or any other COVID-19 symptoms as per Health Department guidelines.
• Partners are still welcome to stay overnight, subject to COVID-19 screening results.
• Partners have been requested to minimise their movement in and out of the unit to decrease everyone’s likelihood of exposure to COVID-19.
• For security reasons, our hospital is locked at 8pm and no access is permitted.

Bacteria are found on every surface you touch and can cause an infection in newborn babies, especially sick babies as their defence systems for fighting infection are not fully developed. All visitors are asked to wash their hands on entry to the nursery.

We also request that your partner limits touching/handling of your baby. Unwell babies need as much rest as possible. Over handling can use up precious energy.
