Our Operations

The Department of Women's Health includes the sections of gynecology and obstetrics. The operations provide outpatient and inpatient care, and our patients come from both Region Uppsala and other regions as we provide specialized, highly specialized, and National Highly Specialized care. We work from a holistic view of the patient and collaboration between different personnel categories. Research is a significant aspect of the operations, and we collaborate with many units both within and outside the hospital.

The Maternal Health Unit is a unit within the Department of Women's Health and consists of a maternal health consultant, a coordinating midwife, and an administrator. The mission of the Maternal Health Unit is to develop the content at the midwifery clinics in Region Uppsala, which means having a coordinating function, conducting quality follow-up, issuing and updating guidelines, and providing further education for midwives and doctors.

Currently, there are 26 midwifery clinics in Region Uppsala, operated both within the region's management and by private actors on behalf of the region. The unit's mission is directed towards all midwifery clinics in the county, regardless of the provider.
