Our History
Our founder, Margaret Boyle, spearheaded the development of our hospital over 200 years ago, because she wanted to ensure that all women had access to the healthcare they needed and deserved.
The Coombe Hospital is one of the largest providers of women and newborn healthcare in the Republic of Ireland. We have been advancing healthcare for women and newborns since 1826. We care for up to 8,000 pregnant women every year. In addition, over 1,000 newborns are admitted to our Neonatal Unit and over 7,000 gynaecology surgical procedures are performed.
The hospital provides comprehensive care for women and newborns at local, regional and national levels. The hospital promotes and supports normality in pregnancy and birth; and also provides a comprehensive range of highly specialised services in high risk maternal and fetal medicine, newborn medicine, anaesthesia and gynaecology.
Over 1000 medical, midwifery, nursing, research scientists, administration staff and professions allied to medicine are committed every day to delivering the best possible medical care in response to the needs of women and newborns.
