The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility is considered one of the largest medical departments in the hospital, as it was established in its current independent form since 1979, after its separation from the General Surgery Department. Despite the professional practice of the mother's specialization (the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility) with the latest medical sciences as the basis for the practice of specialization, the department has worked to develop many specialized units in line with scientific developments in research centers and advanced educational hospitals keeping pace and competition. Medical staff The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology includes ten full-time faculty members within the staff of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Jordan, with academic ranks available on the career ladder of the university faculty members. Two faculty members are on unpaid leave. There is also a higher specialization program in the department, where there are 31 doctors with graded levels from the first year of specialization until the fifth. Medical services:
This department includes several specialized divisions that provide distinguished medical services to Jordanian and Arab patients within the specialization of gynecology, obstetrics, and infertility. These units include:
- Division of Gynecological Oncology.
- Division of fertilization and assisted pregnancy.
- Division of Fetal and Maternal Medicine.
- General Obstetrics and Gynecology Division, which includes: Division of female urology.
The Division of General Practice for specialization in all its fields, which is the most common practice, as it employs the expertise of the members of the department to provide diagnostic, therapeutic, educational and research services, in a scientific, professional, participatory manner as a result of the exchange of experiences between the members of the department in cases that require this to draw up appropriate treatment plans under the title “The patient's life is a priority, therapeutic and curative". Working in this unit represents the basic structure for the specialization of gynecology, obstetrics, and infertility in all its aspects. It is the main feeder for sub-specialty units and contributes to the acquisition of distinguished surgical and therapeutic skills. Curative and educational services are provided within a well-programmed program and in the units of departments distributed within the hospital, as follows: - Outpatient clinics / outpatient clinics building on the first and third floors, where each consultant is assigned 3-4 morning and evening shifts per week.
- The obstetrics department building consisting of three floors. It is a modern and independent building. It includes a floor dedicated to obstetrics, gynecology and infertility emergencies, and a floor dedicated to childbirth in its various forms. It contains 3 operating rooms equipped with the latest medical equipment, eight observation rooms for natural childbirth, and a floor with a capacity of (65) beds for care cases. Pregnant and postpartum mothers, in addition to hosting a newborn unit for children, and an intermediate care unit for premature infants.
- The gynecological floor, which occupies the first floor in the main hospital building, and contains 32 beds of all grades.
- Fertility unit within the first floor of the hospital building.
- Maternal and Fetal Medicine Unit within the modern maternity building.
Gynecological surgery The department performs many different gynecological surgeries, such as removal of uterine fibroids, hysterectomy, removal of cysts on the ovaries, removal of the ovaries (ovaries) if there is a medical need for that and treatment of ectopic pregnancy with various surgical methods by opening the abdomen. Some of the consultants in the department perform hysteroscopy to correct congenital deformities in the uterus and also remove congenital barriers and adhesions, if any, and also remove polyps and fibers inside the uterus, following what modern medicine has reached. Some consultants perform laparoscopy to remove an ectopic pregnancy, the cyst or cysts on the ovaries or ovaries, and remove some fibers according to their type, following what modern medicine has reached. Gynecologic ontological surgery The Department of Gynecological Oncology was established in 1998, as the policy of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology The University of Jordan Hospital and the College of Medicine compete with their educational and therapeutic services for advanced scientific edifices that have come to believe in the policy of moving away from the behavior of individual practice, especially with the development and ramifications of therapeutic services, and gynecological oncology surgery requires precise and specialized surgical and technical skills that are difficult to perform with opportunities for training and experience in a generalized manner as some believe, especially with the interference Its practical joints are with independent specializations. There are technical breaks that cannot be acquired without programmed training in specialized advanced centers after obtaining a certificate of specialization. Actual service has begun at the University of Jordan Hospital for gynecological oncology cases under the supervision of qualified consultants after obtaining a fellowship in gynecological oncology surgery from leading and competitive educational hospitals. In the mid-nineties of the last century, when the bulk of cases were diagnosed and treated directly, while the remaining part represented cases that were transferred from other colleagues and the therapeutic results added a new candle to lighting the tunnel of cancerous diseases. Cancer tumor surgery combines its pillars with clearing the interdependence between experience and surgical skill, with the limits of determining therapeutic priorities that range from the surgical option to treatment options with chemical, radiological or hormonal drugs, and even the possibility of resorting to treatment with more than one treatment opportunity. The attending physician has the largest share in the decision and timing of use. Division of Fertility and Assisted Pregnancy
The Fertility and Conception Division was established at the University Of Jordan Hospital in 2003. It is located on the obstetrics and gynecology floor in the hospital building. It is one of the specialized and advanced centers in this field at the level of the Kingdom due to its following
