Obstetrics and Gynecology: Your Partner in Women's Health

From the first steps of adolescence through the joys of motherhood and into the wisdom of menopause, a woman’s health journey is unique and constantly evolving. This journey requires a trusted partner a healthcare provider who understands these changes and offers expert, compassionate care at every stage. At Fakeeh University Hospital, our Obstetrics and Gynecology department is dedicated to being that partner. We provide a full spectrum of services designed to support, educate, and empower you, ensuring your well-being is at the heart of everything we do.

Our team of experienced and empathetic specialists, nurses, and support staff is committed to delivering world-class care, whether you are seeking routine check-ups, planning for a new family member, or managing complex gynecological conditions. We believe that exceptional women's health care is a right, not a privilege, and we are here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel confident and heard.

What is obstetrics and gynecology?

Obstetrics and Gynecology, often shortened to OB/GYN, is a medical speciality focused on the health of the female reproductive system and the care of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. The field is essentially divided into two core areas:

  • Obstetrics: This branch of medicine deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Obstetricians provide prenatal care, manage labor and delivery, and offer care after the baby is born. They are experts in ensuring the health of both the mother and the baby throughout the entire process.
  • Gynecology: This branch focuses on the health of the female reproductive system – the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Gynecologists provide care for a wide range of issues, from routine annual exams and screening for cervical cancer to treating menstrual disorders and hormonal imbalances and performing surgical procedures.

Our specialists are board-certified in both areas, allowing for a seamless and comprehensive approach to your overall women's health.
