Womens Health Centre
The Womens Health Centre is a unique concept in South Australia. It
was established to provide a single venue for the coordinated management
of medical conditions which are specific to women.
Location
 The Womens Health Centre
building is situated on the corner of North Terrace and Frome Road. It
was opened in 1935 and replaced the original Outpatients Department of the
Hospital. During the second world war it provided sick quarters for
the R.A.A.F until 1946 at which time the Hospital Board considered and rejected
a proposal to make it a maternity hospital. Subsequently it housed
the School Of Nursing and its library before extensive refurbishment in 1994.
The Womens Health Centre Outpatients Department occupies
the ground floor of the building.
Telephone: 08 8222 5587
Environment
The Centre provides a unique environment for the women who make use
of its facilities. It is separate from the general outpatient
department of the hospital and deals only with conditions which are
experienced by women.
The location allows the comprehensive resources of the hospital to be drawn
upon if necessary for the management of serious medical conditions while the
welcoming environment of the Centre facilitates the management of most
conditions of women in a sensitive and friendly manner.
Consultation
Consultations
are carried out in single rooms which have an attached changing room
