Saint Raphael Divine Mercy Specialist Hospital provides comprehensive mother and child care, preparing families for critical moments from the confirmation of pregnancy. The first 60 minutes after birth, known as the 'Golden Hour,' can permanently shape a newborn's immune system. The hospital's specialized maternal, pre- and post-natal care ensures safe outcomes for both mother and child.
Supporting Pregnancy from the Start
Antenatal care is essential for monitoring maternal and fetal health from the onset of pregnancy. The Obstetrics and Gynaecology department offers pregnancy registration and consultation, routine antenatal check-ups, ultrasound scanning and fetal monitoring services in Lagos, laboratory tests for pregnancy health screening, nutritional and lifestyle guidance for pregnant women, and early detection and management of pregnancy-related conditions.
Continuous Pregnancy Monitoring and Maternal Care
Constant monitoring is critical for safe maternal and child health outcomes. Maternal healthcare services focus on monitoring fetal growth and development, blood pressure and maternal health tracking, screening for gestational diabetes and pregnancy hypertension, preventing and managing pregnancy complications, and providing emotional and psychological support during pregnancy.
Safe Delivery Services
The hospital provides safe delivery services supported by experienced obstetricians and a fully equipped maternity unit. Services include birth planning and delivery preparation, normal vaginal delivery, caesarean section when medically necessary, emergency obstetric care in Ikorodu, and pain management and labour support.

After birth, newborns receive specialized care from the paediatric team in Lagos. Newborn care services include immediate post-delivery assessment, monitoring of vital signs and early health checks, breastfeeding and feeding support for new mothers, neonatal care for newborns requiring medical attention, and early childhood health evaluation.
Postnatal Care and Child Healthcare
After delivery, the hospital supports both mother and child with postnatal check-ups for mothers, infant growth and development monitoring, routine immunisation and vaccination services, management of childhood illnesses, and parental education and newborn care guidance.
