About us

Gynecological/Obstetric Department K3 is a surgical inpatient department that receives both gynecological and obstetric patients from across Greenland. We receive both planned and acute patients, and there is a high patient flow as most admissions last less than a week.

The department has 10 maternity and obstetrics beds as well as space for two "gro babies". In addition, we have eight beds for gynecological patients and breast surgery patients. We handle both routine gynecological patient pathways and palliative pathways, where care and security for patients and relatives are an important part of our work.

We are closely linked to the Delivery Department and collaborate daily with midwives, public health nurses and other professional groups. In addition, we collaborate with health centers and regional hospitals across Greenland and are part of Greenland’s Special Department for Children and Births.

Competence development is a natural part of daily life. We highly prioritize professional development and hold ongoing training and competence development days. The department also has a staff member responsible for education and development who supports the department’s development work.

We are a group of engaged colleagues with a good sense of togetherness, where we help each other and prioritize a good introduction for new employees. You will become part of the Surgical Area, which consists of the Orthopedic Surgery Department (K1), Parenchymal Surgery Department (K2), Gynecological/Obstetric Department (K3), the Delivery Ward and the Surgical Outpatient Clinic.
