Our vision and goals aim for the highest quality of care, where the patient is always in focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, as well as highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength, contributing to knowledge exchanges nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life at the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

Here, we provide care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period. In addition to the maternity and postpartum unit, there is also an outpatient unit that conducts specialist maternal care, routine and specialist ultrasounds, postpartum reception for parents and their newborns, and an emergency department for pregnant women and new mothers.
