As part of its Art of Healing series, Joseph Fraser Hospital highlights the expertise and advanced medical infrastructure that support safe motherhood and positive birth outcomes.
With a fully equipped Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), High Dependency Unit (HDU), modern labour suites, upgraded operating theatres, blood bank, and laboratory services, the hospital is well-equipped to manage complex maternal and neonatal emergencies.
A key contributor to this specialised care is Dr. Rameez Furukan, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, who is widely recognised for managing high-risk and complex pregnancies. Through close monitoring of maternal health and fetal development, combined with timely interventions, he has helped countless families navigate challenging pregnancies with confidence.
Dr. Rameez also supports couples through subfertility management, helping many take their first steps towards parenthood. “Every pregnancy is unique, and while challenges can arise, early identification of risks, close monitoring, and timely intervention can make all the difference,” said Dr. Rameez. “With the right care and expertise, even high-risk pregnancies can lead to healthy and joyful beginnings.”
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Rameez has contributed extensively to specialist training through the University of Ruhuna and Teaching Hospital Karapitiya, further strengthening his reputation as a respected leader in women’s healthcare.
Through Art of Healing, Joseph Fraser Hospital celebrates the expertise, compassion, and commitment that guide families through one of life’s most important journeys, ensuring every mother and baby receive the highest standard of care.
