- Decide the service: obstetrics, gynecology, fetal medicine, early pregnancy, neonatology, lactation, pelvic floor, family medicine or emergency.
- Check whether referral is required. Fetal Medicine, Genetic Services, Neonatal Neurodevelopment and some specialist clinics list referral requirements.
- Call 80050 or use the official appointment request option on the Corniche site.
- Give the correct mobile number because SEHA may contact you by phone, SMS, WhatsApp or email.
