INTRODUCTION OF DEPARTMENT

Lady Aitchison Hospital was established in 1887 exclusively for obstetrical care and childbirth. This hospital was named after Lady Aitchison, wife of the lieutenant-governor of Punjab Sir Charles Umpherston Aitchison. Gynae Unit V is one of the two units established in Lady Aitchison Hospital, Lahore having 45 indoor beds. The unit caters to all kinds of obstetrical and gynaecological emergencies.

In addition to emergencies, it serves the masses in its outpatient department (OPD) where 250-300 patients are provided consultation on alternate days of the week along with performing minor OPD procedures as per requirement. The average daily childbirth rate varies from 15 to 30. The unit performs all kinds of elective and emergency surgeries on its allocated theatre days.
