Overview
About Obstetrics & Maternity Care
Pregnancy is one of life's most meaningful journeys, and you deserve to feel informed, supported and safe at every step. Dr Makanda provides continuous, personal obstetric care from your first antenatal visit through to delivery and the weeks that follow.
Care is planned around you and your baby: regular check-ups, ultrasound monitoring of your baby's growth, clear explanations of every test, and a birth plan you have discussed and understood. Deliveries take place at Melomed Private Hospital, Mitchells Plain.
