Advantages of RHW
RHW (Royal Hospital for Women) may be a better option if you don’t have access to Medicare rebates or if you don’t have private health cover.
RHW has one of the largest neonatal nurseries in NSW if your baby is very premature or needs neonatal intensive care.
RHW has 24 hour onsite medical cover and operating theatre staff for very high risk pregnancies.
As a private patient with full cover at RHW you are slightly more likely to have a single room right from your first night than at POWPH, where most women go into a shared room on their first night.
