“I
am delighted to present the annual clinical and management report of the Rotunda Hospital Dublin for 2018, in this my third year as Master. The Rotunda is well on its way towards fulfilling its vision to be “the internationally recognised maternity hospital of choice – outstanding care delivered by exceptional people”, becoming the busiest maternity hospital in Ireland, as well as one of the busiest in all of Europe. In 2018, we cared for 9,760 pregnant mothers and delivered 8,514 babies. Our team of 960 staff are our greatest asset and continue to work tirelessly in achieving our vision while providing the best possible care to our patients.” – Prof Fergal Malone, Master of the Rotunda Hospital.
