In 2017 sixty four percent of red blood cell donations were transfused into KEMH women (including Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Oncology). Thirty five per cent were transfused into KEMH neonates and just under one percent was given as an intrauterine transfusion.

Without blood donations, many of these transfusions could not have occurred.

Created for expectant mothers receiving care from King Edward Memorial Hospital, the Family Birth Centre and Community Midwifery Program, this comprehensive book covers everything from the pregnancy care options available to you and what to expect at your visits, through to giving birth, after your birth and breastfeeding, plus much more.
