maternity hospital
Where babies arrive
A maternity hospital is a medical facility specializing in pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care.
Some are standalone institutions; others operate as wards within general hospitals.
The term emphasizes the facility's focus on mothers and newborns rather than general medical treatment: She was admitted to the maternity hospital when her contractions started.
