Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a medical specialty dedicated to the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of women's health needs from adolescence through menopause and beyond. Women's health extends beyond the reproductive system and is closely connected to hormonal balance, overall wellbeing and quality of life.

The Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department provides services in a wide range of areas, including gynaecological conditions, pregnancy care, childbirth, reproductive health, menopause management and preventive healthcare.

The goal is not only to evaluate existing health concerns but also to support long-term wellbeing, promote preventive care and facilitate early assessment of potential health risks.
