Did you know that the first 60 minutes after birth, often called the “Golden Hour”, can permanently shape a newborn’s immune system?
At Saint Raphael Divine Mercy Specialist Hospital, we prepare the mother and child for this critical moment from the moment pregnancy is confirmed.
Here is how our specialised maternal, pre- and post-natal care works to ensure safe outcomes for both mother and child.
