Health City has delivered three babies since launching maternity services at its new hospital in Camana Bay this year.

The first birth took place at 5:19am on 13 March, with the other two arriving on 16 and 18 March, the hospital announced in a press release.

“This marks the official launch of Health City’s state-of-the-art maternity services, setting a new standard for obstetric care in the region,” the hospital stated.

The first two deliveries were carried out by the hospital’s maternity team, while the third was done by Dr. Rommel El-Madany, a consultant/specialist OB/GYN, who while not a resident physician, is among the medical professionals with access to perform deliveries at the facility.

Dr. Binoy Chattuparambil, clinical director at Health City Cayman Islands, said in the release, “This moment represents the realisation of a vision – to offer expectant families in the Cayman Islands a world-class birthing experience close to home.

“Our maternity unit is designed to provide the highest level of clinical care, but just as importantly, an environment that prioritises the comfort and confidence of every mother. The arrival of these babies is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our team.”

The release noted that Health City Camana Bay’s maternity unit offers comprehensive care, from prenatal consultations through delivery and postpartum support.

Its facilities include private birthing suites equipped with modern labour and recovery amenities; a dedicated Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for infants requiring specialised care; and 24/7 access to obstetricians, midwives and neonatal specialists.

It also offers antenatal education, wellness programmes and postnatal support services.

New mom Shiela Masangcay, whose baby was the second to be delivered at the hospital, said in the release, “My experience at Health City was truly outstanding. The team exemplifies what patient care should be – compassionate, professional and highly efficient.

“They prioritise their patients’ well-being with a strong sense of urgency while ensuring that every individual feels valued and fully taken care of. Their dedication to excellence in healthcare is truly commendable.”
