This morning, Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene presided over the inauguration of a newly completed maternity block at the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace, located in the Jardin Exotique quartier.

The ceremony included the unveiling of a commemorative plaque within the obstetric emergency unit, followed by a tour of the facility. Accompanied by the Minister of the State of the Principality of Monaco, Mr. Christophe Mirmand, the Director of the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace, Ms. Benoîte Rousseau de Sevelinges, and the Chief of the Maternity Department at the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace, Professor Bruno Carbonne, the Princely Couple visited several of the newly developed spaces, including a double parental room, a birthing suite, a hydrotherapy room, and upgraded obstetric care units.

The redevelopment forms part of a broader modernization of the hospital’s maternity services, with a focus on improving care for mothers and newborns through updated, family-centered facilities.

The inauguration follows the recent opening of the hospital’s Parent-Child Unit and represents a further step in the establishment of a comprehensive Mother and Child center at the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace.
