The Federal Government has announced “all non-urgent elective surgery will be temporarily suspended” because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Several patients have asked me: “Will this affect my planned Caesarean section?”
The answer is: “DEFINITELY NOT”.
Caesarean sections, miscarriage D & C’s and all other pregnancy related operations are not classified as ‘non-urgent elective’ surgery, as they cannot be deferred.
Rest assured – these Federal Government surgery changes will not affect your delivery plans.
