“I am delighted to present the annual clinical and management report of the Rotunda Hospital Dublin for 2021, in this my sixth 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 2021, we cared for 10,715 pregnant mothers and delivered 9,147 babies. Our team of 1081 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.
