A dedicated department for women's reproductive health, antenatal care and delivery.

In their own words
Four people we treated, on what it was actually like.
The nursing care I received was absolutely fantastic. If I ever had to be seen at a hospital again, I would come back to Namo.
The care I received at Namo was fantastic. I was made to feel comfortable at all times, and every explanation was clear.
The kindness and consideration I received from every member of staff who treated me was exceptional. It made a very difficult time more bearable.
I was given the best care I could expect from hospital staff, not to mention the exceptional kindness from the nurses.
Will your cover work here?
It depends on your scheme and on what you are coming in for. Ring us before you set off and we will tell you exactly where you stand, so nobody finds out at the counter with a sick child in their arms.
