As an academic maternal fetal medicine (MFM) center, we are positioned to provide the medical students, residents as well as fellows in MFM with a superior clinical education as well as the necessary resources to successfully complete obstetric training. Our renown residency program is supposed to bridge the gap between undergraduate education and “real life” professional practice. Our unit also offers the full spectrum of general and specialty obstetrical care and is a destination of choice for pregnant women seeking these services both locally and nationally. Our team not only offers expert patient services; it also includes leaders in basic science, clinical trials, and population-based research in MFM. Although the limiting number of deliveries (2,400 deliveries/year) nowadays, the obstetric training standard has not only been maintained but also been improved to keep above the standard requirement of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Thailand.

Our neonatal unit consists of 2 NICUs which serve 20-23 beds and 1 sick newborn unit with 25 service beds. Moreover, we have 2 lactation clinics and 1 milk bank which is the 1st milk bank in Thailand, established in 2013. We are able to take care of the very sick neonates such as neonates with extremely premature, multiple anomalies, surgical conditions, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and inborn error of metabolism and genetic diseases, etc. Cutting-edge innovation and technology, for example, various modern ventilators, therapeutic hypothermia and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are used in our unit to provide excellent care for these patients.
