Women's Health

This page helps you find and choose a provider of women's health care. For condition information, see the Women's health topic.

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.
