The Mala Bogorodica private hospital in Skopje, or the ‘Sistina Hospital’ as it is known, specialized in gynecology and obstretics. In the online magazine www.expatexchange.com a woman who gave birth there in 2002 described her experience thus: “Excellent experience ….. Had a private room (like a suite) with round the clock attention from doctors. Had all types of pain management available and had planned an epidural but got to the hospital too late and delivered naturally. Hospital stay was four days. Lots of attention from doctors on how to take care of baby and breastfeeding. Not as much attention to my hemorrhoids!!!“
The hospital has an outpatient and polyclinic department, a cytogenetic, biochemical and histopathology-cytology laboratory, a department for human reproduction and embryology, maternity wards, neonatology, operating rooms and a general ward.
The prenatal diagnostics includes the most up-to-date methods of cytogenetic screening (amniocentesis, chorion biopsy, cordocentesis, placentocentesis, triple test) allowing for the early detection of possible genetic abnormalities. The support of Ultrasound Doppler devices allows for the diagnosis and analysis of the fetal placental circulation as well fetal growth and development. The full range of gynecological screening methods are offered (colposcopy, PAP test, biopsy, HPV type classification, US and colour Doppler). All test results are issued to the patients within the shortest possible period. The department of human reproduction offers infertility treatment (IUI, IVF, ICSI, Blastocyst Transfer).
