The Ramsay Way 2019 | 01 5
New parents will enjoy the modern conveniences
and perks of a luxury hotel when they experience
Westmead Private Hospital’s new maternity
unit expansion.
The highly-anticipated $25 million development has opened
and includes 31 extra private maternity rooms with opulent
facilities which can also accommodate a support person, as
well as 11 new surgical rooms and one extra birth suite.
There are also eight spacious parenting suites – each fitted
out with a queen size bed, seating area for guests, wide
screen TV and private ensuite. Mothers will also be treated
to a gourmet hamper, bathrobe and daily newspaper.
A 14 cot Special Care Nursery is equipped with the latest
technology for babies who need extra care, and offers
greater privacy and comfort for parents. It provides the
highest possible standard of care for a NSW private hospital
and is reassuringly co-located next to Westmead Public
– one of Australia’s finest tertiary neonatal care facilities
– should your baby require additional support.
Patients can access free infant massage workshops and
post-natal exercise classes for mothers and babies. There
is also an extensive post-natal education program including
preparation for home, bathing, settling and feeding.
Westmead Private Hospital CEO Mike Flatley said: “We
arrived at the new maternity design and offering by listening
to our mothers about what really matters to them. We also
wanted to provide them with a peaceful and comfortable
space to stay in while welcoming their newest family
member into the world.”
“Our aim is to provide families with a really enjoyable
hotel-style experience, while simultaneously ensuring they
receive the highest quality care and attention from our
medical and clinical teams.”
The new development allows for plenty of natural light, and
offers a rooftop garden so families and loved ones have the
option to spend time together in the fresh air.
“Our next project currently underway at Westmead Private
Hospital is transforming our two-bed patient rooms into
highly-desired single rooms, which will result in 100%
private rooms throughout our entire facility.”
“This is an important milestone as it affords every one
of our patients more comfort and privacy during their
hospital stay.”
