Gynaecology & Obstetrics
What is Gynaecology & Obstetrics ?
Obstetricians specialize in pregnancy and associated health matters, while gynecologists concentrate on overall reproductive health.
Collaboration between these medical professionals is common. Certain practitioners hold certifications in both obstetrics and gynecology, often referred to as OB/GYNs.
These dual-certified doctors are equipped to address a wide range of reproductive health needs, including childbirth. Additionally, some OB/GYNs serve as primary care providers for individuals with vaginas.
