The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the University of Uyo is one of the major departments at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital and one of the earliest departments established at the onset of the hospital.

Departmental activities  
*      Clinics:     The department runs both antenatal and gynaecological clinics between 9am and 1pm and 1pm to 5pm respectively. The clinic runs as follows:

      1. Antenatal clinics – Monday,        Tuesday and Friday (9am – 1pm).
      2. Gynaecology clinics – Monday,        Tuesday and Thursday (1pm – 5pm).
      3. Booking clinics – Thursdays.
      4. Family planning clinic –        daily. This is currently run by the family planning nurses and               resident doctors on Family planning        posting, supervised by the Consultants.
      5. Family planning is a        mandatory component of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology                student and resident doctor’s        training.

THEATRES: The department has both Obstetrics and Gynaecology theatre sessions. The hospital has three operating theatres viz; Theatre 1, (Accident & Emergency Theatre), Theatre 2 (Main Theatre) and the Obstetrics theatre which has two functional suites. Surgeries for gynaecological cases are performed in Theatre 2 which has 4 functioning suites. Theatres sessions hold as follows: Gynaecology Theatre – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Obstetrics Theatre – Daily. There are 89 beds in the maternity unit viz:. Antenatal ward – 12 (9 with 4 private rooms), Post natal ward – 51, Labour ward – 9 self-contained suites and Gynaecology – 17 (15 with 2 private rooms)
Currently, the doctors in the department are divided into firms with consultants at the head. There are currently three firms. However, in accordance with recommendations of both the National and West African Postgraduate Medical colleges, the department has been restructured and additional firm has been added. Thus, the different firms are now created on the basis of the different sub-specialties in Obstetrics/Gynaecology. This is virtually the practice all over the world. These changes will take effect from the 1st of February 2012. The distributions of the firms are as follows:

  1. Firm 1- Oncology
  2. Firm 2- Reproductive health
  3. Firm 3- Community obstetrics
  4. Firm 4- Urogynaecology

With the addition of another firm, in addition to that stated above, Gynaecological clinic for the new firm (4) will now be on Wednesday (1pm-5pm), while 9am -1pm on Thursdays will be for the antenatal clinic. The booking clinics will now be holding on Wednesday morning.
