Life St George’s Hospital
Making life better for the whole family
Life St George’s Hospital offers family-centred care units to look after you from
conception at the fertility unit, to ante-natal classes at the Little Life Clinic, to
making your birthing experience one to remember at the maternity unit.
Life St George’s Hospital also has a brand new state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care unit with a
beautiful lounge, play area for siblings, private breastfeeding room and counselling room.
The hospital’s paediatric unit has semi-private and isolation rooms to ensure that patients and their
parents are taken care of during hospitalisation. There is also an indoor and outdoor play area for
children.
The safety of your child is top priority, therefore we have access control on our entrance and exit
doors in all units.
