Accepted Answer

GHA-registered mothers receive antenatal care, delivery and postnatal care free of charge, with births taking place on the Millicent Macintosh Maternity Ward at St Bernard's Hospital. Every birth in Gibraltar must be registered with the Civil Status and Registration Office within 21 days.
Antenatal care: once pregnancy is confirmed, book a GP appointment at the Primary Care Centre (200 52441). You will be referred into the GHA maternity pathway for midwife appointments, scans and consultant care where needed.
Birth: deliveries take place on the Millicent Macintosh Maternity Ward at St Bernard's Hospital, Harbour Views Road. Maternity care, including delivery and postnatal care, is free for patients entitled under the Group Practice Medical Scheme. If you are not GHA-registered, check entitlement and charges with the GHA early in pregnancy.
Registering the birth: every birth in Gibraltar must be registered by law within 21 days, even if the parents do not normally live in Gibraltar.
The birth registration form is available from the Maternity Ward or from the Registry.
Call the Registry of Births, Deaths and Gibraltarian Status on 200 78303 to book an appointment.
Bring the completed form, valid photo ID for each parent attending, and your marriage certificate if married.
If the parents are married, either parent may register. If unmarried, both parents normally attend together.
Birth certificates can be ordered once registration is complete.
The Registry is part of the Department of Immigration and Home Affairs, 2nd Floor, Leanse Place, 50 Town Range.
After the birth, add your baby to your GHA registration using the dependant form.
