Hi Hanifa, 

Thanks for your feedback. In case of an emergency would Beaulieu have to transfer me to HUG or is it equiped to handle any problems there? I read on a few very old posts  (dated 2004) that newborns and mothers in distress were transfered to HUG  but there are no new posts with information on whether this has changed.  

The HUG is a teaching hospital where the majority of Geneva’s medical specialists trained and worked until they could set up in private practice.

If accommodation is an issue, you can also opt for private or semi-private facilities.

Best wishes,

R.

I’ve been a patient in both the HUG and a handful of Geneva’s

private clinics. One of the latter is on my black list.  I’d never ever return unless there was absolutely no other option.  HUG may be a little less cosy but what matters is the availability of the most sophisticated equipment and practitioners who know how to use it.

If you think you might have a problem go for HUG.  If not, just do as Hanifa suggests and relax.  Getting uptight doesn’t help anyone, least of all the child.

All the best,

R.

La Clinique des Grangettes is great, both my sons were born there.

Excellent food too!

Their emergency ward is great as well.

You can't go wrong there.

Thanks for your advice ladies!
