What does Maitland Cottage Hospital do?
The facility specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of children with physical disability due to disease or accident, including:
- Osteitis (bone inflammation or infection), Acute Osteomyelitis as a result of malnutrition often due to less than ideal living conditions directly related to impoverishment;
- Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease), Spina Bifida and complications such as Meningomyelocoele often resulting in paralysis of the lower limbs
Fractures often requiring long term traction -up to 6 weeks- due to the soft bones of these young patients.
- Bone TB which requires up to 9 months of continuous treatment and where non-compliance with medication can result in multi-drug resistance. Many children have to be admitted to ensure compliance where this cannot be achieved at home.
- Orthopaedic disability due to cerebal palsy where orthopaedic intervention is required.
What facilities and services does Maitland Cottage Hospital offer?
- The hospital has 65 beds;
- A full operating theatre, where we perform over 550 operations per year;
- A Club Foot Clinic which treats up to 120 patients monthly; and

While the Maitland Cottage Hospital receives provincial government funding, this is not enough to enable it to keep on delivering the valuable services and care that have become so important to children from economically challenged communities around the country.
