RHW - Royal Hospital for Women (Sydney)

For more than a century, the Royal Hospital for Women has provided specialist health care in partnership with women. The RHW was not only the first women's hospital in Australia, but also the country's first lying-in hospital and is still the only women's hospital in New South Wales.

The Hospital staff has earned an outstanding national and international reputation for health care excellence. As a tertiary referral hospital the RHW is a leading research and teaching hospital in the field of women's health.

Most importantly the RHW combines medical excellence with a warm and caring atmosphere.

Each year we help deliver more than 3,700 babies; care for more than 600 premature babies; treat more than 400 women for gynaecological cancer; provide surgery for more than 80 women with breast cancer; attend to over 450 women requiring acute care services; help more than 600 women through endo-gynaecological procedures, and provide care for every one of the 10,000 women who rely on a special partnership with the RHW.
