Every woman who is pregnant and ordinarily a resident in Ireland (living here and intend to remain here for at least one year) is entitled to maternity care under the Dual Care Maternity Scheme.
This scheme provides an agreed programme of care and is provided by both a registered GP and a hospital obstetrician. You do not need a medical card to avail of this scheme.
We know that finding out you are expecting can be full of a mixture of emotions and we hope that we are here to help and guide you and your family through one of the most important episodes of your life.
