OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY
Care for women's health at every stage — through pregnancy and birth, and for the conditions that affect the reproductive system — with a visiting fertility clinic on site.
Women's health, at every stage
Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) looks after women’s health from adolescence, through the reproductive years, into menopause. It has two sides that work together but do different jobs: Obstetrics is pregnancy, birth and the weeks after; Gynaecology is the health of the reproductive system — periods, hormones, growths, and surgery when it’s needed.
At Putra Medical Centre both run side by side, with structured pathways for routine, complex and high-risk cases, working closely with anesthesiologist, paediatricians, neonatologist and surgeons. PMCK also hosts visiting fertility specialist clinics, so couples can get reproductive medicine expertise here rather than travelling for it.
