Antenatal & Maternity

Register a pregnancy, record antenatal visits and tetanus doses, record the delivery, create the baby's file and bill antenatal and delivery charges.

Antenatal & Maternity is the antenatal register. Each pregnancy has its own record, from registration and antenatal visits to the delivery and the baby's file.

Before you begin

• The Maternity department is switched on for your hospital, and the obstetricians exist. See Doctors.
• The mother is registered. See Register Patient.
• Antenatal visit and delivery prices are set in the price list. See Price List & Tariffs.
• Your role needs Manage Antenatal / Deliveries; taking payment needs the billing permission.
