First-class service in an intimate atmosphere

We are committed to providing you with personalised advice, support and a wide range of services. An experienced team of midwives, doctors, nursing staff and hospitality personnel look forward to welcoming you to Clinique Cecil. We are here for you and your newborn, from the moment you prepare for the birth through to your return home with your child, and also in the weeks that follow.

Have our experienced photographer capture your first moments with your baby in a professional photoshoot and, with your agreement, we’ll publish a photo of your child in our Baby Gallery.

Physiological Birthing Room

We are committed to meeting the needs and evolving expectations of mothers. This is why the Cecil Maternity Ward has equipped itself with a room combining comfort and safety. A birthing tub, a custom-made bed promoting physiological positions, and a dedicated space for the newborn's welcome: everything is designed to experience birth in a warm and reassuring environment. The room also features a specific lighting system and other accessories allowing mothers to have a birth that is as natural as possible.

Partnering with Dads

We obtained the "Maternity, Fathers' Friend" label, attesting to our commitment to fully involve the partner throughout all stages of maternity. This means: facilitated presence during consultations and childbirth, possibility of sleeping together in a parental room and other services available for greater comfort. Because the birth of every child is an adventure to be shared as a family, we welcome all new and future fathers!

Water Birth

The Cecil Maternity Ward is equipped with a birthing tub with integrated LED lighting. For many women, a water birth is less painful and less stressful than a conventional birth, as the warm water is relaxing and generally shortens the duration of labor. For the baby, it means a gentler transition to the outside world compared to a normal delivery.

Nursery

A nursery is available to accommodate babies in a calm and dedicated environment, allowing the mother to rest during her stay at the Clinic. This includes a changing area with a baby bathtub, a soft lighting system, and equipment to meet the babies' needs.
