Smoke Free Campus 🚭 The Rotunda Hospital, the oldest continuously operating maternity hospital in the world, and one of the busiest in Europe! We pride ourselves on respecting the individual woman’s right to choose the care pathway that suits her needs and celebrate the fact that for over 274 years, hundreds of thousands of women have trusted the Rotunda to care for themselves and their babies during this precious and exciting time. Founded in 1745 by Bartholomew Mosse, surgeon and man-midwife, the original Dublin Lying-In Hospital was a maternity training hospital, the first of its kind anywhere. In 1757, the institution moved to a different location where it became “The New Lying-In Hospital”. This is the hospital complex that is referred to today as simply “The Rotunda”. The Rotunda Hospital is unique as an institution in that it has continued to provide an unbroken record of service to women and babies since its foundation in 1745 and has occupied its present premises since 1757.
