The Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynecology was established in 1978 at the same time with the University Emergency Hospital Bucharest. Thus, given that SUUB is a multidisciplinary emergency hospital able to treat complex cases both gynecological and obstetrical, risk pregnancies often requiring a multidisciplinary approach, the development over time of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic was particularly complex.
The Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynecology had the status of a university clinic from the beginning. In addition to medical work and research, there is an intense educational activity for VI th year students of “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, training and guidance to resident doctors, as well as courses to obtain competences for doctors specialists and mayors.
The first Head of Clinic was Professor Traian Rebedea, leader of an energic group of academics through which he vigorously promoted modern methods of analgesia in childbirth, surgery and conservative uterine tubal reconstruction by microsurgical techniques. Among his many achievements, include the establishment of the first cabinet of infant gynecology in the capital, in the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University Emergency Hospital Bucharest, having to oversee the development of young girls and prevent adulthood pathology.

Two optional courses for VI th year students of UMPCD, "Introduction in Sexology" and "Pediatric gynecology" make the amphitheater of University Emergency Hospital Bucharest overcrowded. SUUB teaching staff is always present in organizing and conducting admission and license exam of the University, actively participating in the examination boards or university promotion.
In the Clinic, in 2017 work 28 primary physicians, 7 specialists and 30 resident doctors are being formed. Of these 13 are academics , 6 scientific researchers. The clinic is divided into three wards with 114 beds and three operating units that provide immediate access at any time in the operating room. In 2010 the clinic had more than 5,000 births, recording the highest number of births in Bucharest. There are carried out over 400 laparoscopic interventions per year and more than 1500 elective gynecological surgery or emergency.

An important area is the vaginal surgery, including urogynaecological, this area is developing through the involvement of Prof. MD Cîrstoiu, vice president of Urogynaecological Association, which organized in April last year a course for operatory urogynaecological intervention, course with international participation, which aims to be repeated in 2017. During the course, 12 patients were operated in two days, all operations being filmed and broadcasted in real time in the Grand Amphitheatre of University Emergency Hospital Bucharest.
Thus, doctors were able to watch the live covering of the most modern urogynecological techniques; the courses were conducted by a team of five professors: Prof. MD Brătilă Petre, Senior Lecturer Brătilă Elvira, Prof. MD Cîrstoiu Monica, Prof. MD Andrei Müller Funogea and Prof. MD Klaus Goeschen. At the end of the course, it was released the monograph "The floor in Female Pelvic", in which are detailed modern surgery techniques in this field.

Endowing the Clinic with technical research equipment and improving medical imaging gynecology facilitated the creation of 10 jobs in research at SUUB and allowed the development of the training activities for students, residents and PhD.
The Clinic has introduced the concept of translational medicine, concept that helps the patient and equally doctors, due to the accessibility of turning scientific research results from clinical trials in a easier way to select the therapy and a prompt and clear assessment of clinical response.
In 2015 it began the implementation of RO 19.10: "Improving health care in high-risk pregnancy, premature birth and hematologic diseases" project financed by Norwegian funds. The project objectives were to improve health care received in high-risk pregnancy.
Thus, they introduced new screening tests for hereditary and acquired thrombophilia, pregnant women benefiting from modern imaging exploration during specialized consultancy and high performance CTG monitoring. Also, birth analgezia techniques were improved by introducing Entonox.
Project spaces have been completely renovated and improved medical services for patients with hematological diseases. At the same time, the staff experiences and knowledge were increased by participating in various training programs and through their involvement in project development.
