What the field covers

Women's health care in this directory means obstetrics and gynaecology: care during pregnancy and after birth, and care of the female reproductive system, including screening and the assessment of symptoms such as pelvic pain or irregular periods.

Who provides it

An obstetrician and gynaecologist is a doctor who has specialised in pregnancy, childbirth and the female reproductive system. General practitioners also provide some of this care, including cervical screening in many countries, and midwives lead antenatal and birth care in many health systems. HealthNaro lists the specialty Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Main services

Listed services are antenatal care, gynaecology consultations and cervical screening. A profile shows a service only when the provider has told us it is offered.

How to choose a provider

  • Confirm the doctor's registration with the national medical regulator and ask which specialist qualification applies.
  • Read the verification label: Public listing, Contact verified, Reviewed by HealthNaro or Credentials verified. They show what HealthNaro checked and are not ratings of care.
  • For pregnancy, ask which hospital the doctor delivers at, how out-of-hours contact works and which scans and tests are done on site.
  • Ask about privacy, chaperones and whether you can see a female clinician if you prefer.
  • Ask what happens if a complication arises and who takes over care.

What to prepare

Note the date of your last period, previous pregnancies, medicines you take and any allergies. Bring earlier test results, scan reports and any vaccination records. Write down questions beforehand. Do not send medical details through HealthNaro forms.

Cost, insurance and access

Fees may be set per visit, per package of antenatal care, or per delivery, and tests and scans may be extra. Ask for a written breakdown and what is excluded. Check with your insurer what maternity cover includes and any waiting periods. HealthNaro shows prices only where a source and date exist.

Free request

Send a free request and, with your consent, we share only the details you choose with suitable clinics. HealthNaro is a directory and does not provide medical advice or care.

Frequently asked questions

What does an obstetrician and gynaecologist do?
An obstetrician cares for women during pregnancy and childbirth. A gynaecologist cares for the female reproductive system. Many doctors practise both, which is why the specialty is usually combined.
Can I see a midwife instead?
Midwives provide antenatal and birth care in many health systems. HealthNaro currently lists the specialty Obstetrics and Gynaecology, so check the individual profile for who provides care.
Can I ask for a female clinician?
Many clinics will try to arrange this. Tell the clinic when you book, or mention it in your request.
How early should I look for antenatal care?
The World Health Organization recommends early contact with antenatal care in pregnancy. Ask a clinic about the schedule of visits it offers.
Is the request service free?
Yes. HealthNaro does not charge patients and does not sell requests.
