Gynaecology is a comprehensive branch of medicine that focuses on the health and treatment of the female reproductive system.

At Life Clinic we provide every aspect of gynecological support that a woman may need in her life. From simple gynecological monitoring or verification of reproductive status, to the most specialized laparoscopic or hysteroscopic procedures (in collaboration with all major private hospitals in Athens).

We have many years of gynaecological experience, both at home in Greece and abroad (particularly the UK), and in combination with our vision of focusing on women’s health and well-being throughout their lives, it ensures that our services and treatments are at the highest level whilst also being sensibly priced.
