The concept of Integrated Perinatal Care was initiated with the formation of the KKH Perinatal Team in 1993 to further improve the maternal and perinatal care. All staff in the team are committed to providing labouring women and women with high-risk pregnancies with the highest possible standards of care to allow the best outcomes and birthing experience for mothers, babies and families. Teamwork as well as national and worldwide collaborations are the hallmarks of this team.
