The Portland Hospital for Women and Children is a private maternity hospital on Great Portland Street, London, England, owned by the Hospital Corporation of America.
History
The Portland was conceived by Barry Lewis, a paediatrician, who perceived the need for London to have a private hospital devoted entirely to women and children: it opened in 1983.[1] It markets its services on an international basis and in 2015 about 25% of its earnings came from overseas patients.[2]
Notable patients
Relatives of the British Royal Family who have given birth in the hospital have included Sarah, Duchess of York,[3] Lady Sarah Chatto[4] and Serena Armstrong-Jones, Countess of Snowdon.[5] Other celebrity mothers have included Victoria Beckham,[4] Lady Helen Taylor,[4] Anneka Rice,[4] Jerry Hall,[4] Jemima Goldsmith,[4] Pamela Stephenson,[4] Rachel Hunter,[4] Mel B,[4] Benazir Bhutto,[4] Trudie Styler,[4] Patsy Kensit,[4] Victoria Wood[4] and Julie Walters.[4]
