In mid-2006, as part of the health reform in Western Australia, King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) joined with other women's based health services to form the new Women and Newborn Health Service (WNHS), which is a part of the larger North Metropolitan Area Health Service.

KEMH was formerly a part of the Women's and Children's Health Service (WCHS) along with Princess Margaret Hospital for Children (PMH).

With dedicated staff and best practices based on the most current evidence-based medicine, WNHS continues to deliver first-class health care to women and infants in WA.

KEMH is the State's only tertiary maternity and gynaecological hospital and treated its first patients in 1916. Today more than 6000 births take place at the hospital every year and it is WA's only major referral centre for high-risk pregnancies. KEMH also has a state-of-the-art Special Care Nursery, designed to care for premature and sick infants.

KEMH also cares for approximately 5000 women with gynaecological conditions each year - from urological and cancer related problems to sexually transmitted diseases and reproductive disorders.

WNHS incorporates King Edward Memorial Hospital, the WA Cervical Cancer Prevention Program, the Sexual Assault Referral Centre, BreastScreen WA, Statewide Obstetric Support Unit, Women’s Health Policy and Projects and the Mother and Baby Unit, a comprehensive inpatient service for women suffering postnatal psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia and adjustment disorders.
