NHS rolls out specialist medical care centres for women during pregnancy

NHS rolls out specialist medical care centres for women during pregnancy Pregnant women with serious medical problems will now have access to specialist treatment centres across the country.

The 17 new centres of excellence will help women with pre-existing medical conditions, or conditions that arise during pregnancy to quickly get the extra care they might need.

As part of the NHS commitment to halve the maternal mortality rate by 2025, a wide ranging team will be on hand to provide specialist medical advice before during and after pregnancy, bringing together expert physicians, obstetricians, midwives, nurses and other clinicians in one place.
