Hi Mommies! for those asking for a reasonable package on maternal delivery, you could check this one out. It's a new hospital in Al Qusais, Dubai.

If someone already experience delivering here, please do comment for a review.

DH and I went there about 3 weeks ago and their delivery suites are new and very modern looking.

I hope the doctors too are well experienced as it is a different opinion tho.

Just a review of this hospital. I have delivered here 2 months ago and my experience on the delivery was ok. Not perfect but with the package they offer, it's already reasonable given that Dubai maternity and delivery packages cost an arm and leg. I had an emergency CS here as the baby went distressed. Doctors were very upfront and quick to act on their next step during the complication. I just don't like how they handle their Mother-child / Breastfeeding campaign. They are not a breastfeeding Hospital advocate. Nurses & Doctors were not aware how skin to skin is crucial on mom and baby once out. Service and private rooms were all very nice. I agree about the breastfeeding thing though! I delivered there in October.. And the doctors were very good and insisted on me delivering normally though I was crying for a C-section due to pain.. But then they asked me if I'd like epidural.. and I gave birth to a baby boy normally.. But they have no in-house lactation consultant and the nurses haven't a single clue how to help a new mom to breastfeed.. I struggled a lot with it (for upto 3 months) and then a new Pediatrician called Doctor Anita helped me out.. She sat with me for half an hour helped me to breastfeed.. But after seeing our struggle she insisted I go to a Lactation Consultant and I did.. And that helped.. Anyway I digress.. As far as the delivery goes.. they are good.. and once my baby was out they gave him the shots and kept checking his Blood glucose and all that (cos I had GD).. Their package is good, nurses are helpful, great doctors and nice comfortable rooms.. Need a little more work in the Breastfeeding area though :) rockyroqs211, it was good to know you delivered also there safe and normal. Couldn't agree more about your points about their packages and the doctors. I have joined a private Breastfeeding group in facebook when my DS was only 12 days old and they helped me alot with my questions and taught me the proper technique both on breastfeeding and eventually,pumping.
