The hospital has revamped the old maternity unit and integrated 12 birth rooms, four birth pools, a parent lounge and two bedded observation rooms in the new birth unit.
The nine-month long renovation scheme was aimed at changing the clinical environment of the unit. The modernization scheme added soundproofing, en-suite facilities and modern furnishings to offer a relaxed atmosphere. The renovation work was undertaken in two phases. The first phase was completed in September 2009. The second phase involved creation of new maternity facilities and rebuilding an outside courtyard area with raised flowerbeds and seating. Each room currently features a dedicated storage space.
The hospital will also open a new research facility on May 14, 2010, including three offices, two clinical rooms and a lounge area.
