The Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital is a maternity hospital in Grosvenor Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is managed by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.
History
The facility has its origins in a private house in Donegall Street where a lying-in hospital was established in 1794. It moved to larger premises in Townsend Street in November 1904. The current facility was built on a site previously occupied by the Belfast Asylum, to the immediate south of the Royal Victoria Hospital. It was officially opened by Lucy Baldwin in October 1933. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. After services were transferred from the Jubilee Maternity Hospital, which had been the maternity unit at the Belfast City Hospital, in May 2000, the facility at Grosvenor Road was renamed the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital.
