Joseph Fraser Hospital Showcases Expertise in High-Risk Maternal Care

As part of its Art of Healing initiative, Joseph Fraser Hospital is highlighting its advanced medical expertise and state-of-the-art facilities that support safe motherhood and improved birth outcomes.

The hospital is equipped with modern healthcare infrastructure, including a fully functional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), High Dependency Unit (HDU), advanced labour suites, upgraded operating theatres, a blood bank, and well-equipped laboratory services. These resources enable the medical team to effectively manage complex maternal and neonatal emergencies.

Specialist Care for High-Risk Pregnancies

A key figure in the hospital’s maternal care services is Dr. Rameez Furukan, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, who is widely recognised for his expertise in handling high-risk and complicated pregnancies. Through continuous monitoring of both maternal and fetal health, along with timely medical interventions, he has supported many families through challenging pregnancy journeys.

Dr. Furukan also provides specialised care in subfertility management, helping couples overcome fertility challenges and begin their journey to parenthood.

Speaking on maternal care, he noted:
“Every pregnancy is unique. While complications can arise, early risk detection, careful monitoring, and timely intervention make a significant difference. With the right care, even high-risk pregnancies can lead to safe and joyful outcomes.”

Contribution to Medical Training and Development

Beyond clinical care, Dr. Furukan has contributed extensively to postgraduate medical training at the University of Ruhuna and Teaching Hospital Karapitiya. His involvement in academic and clinical education has strengthened his reputation as a respected figure in women’s healthcare in Sri Lanka.

Commitment to Safe Motherhood

Through its Art of Healing programme, Joseph Fraser Hospital continues to recognise the dedication, compassion, and expertise of its medical professionals. The initiative underscores the hospital’s commitment to ensuring that every mother and newborn receives the highest standard of care throughout their journey.
