The Silver Star Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital is not under immediate threat, as was suggested by a social network campaign.
A misunderstanding arose from a request by the Silver Star Society to promote fundraising for the unit, which helps women through difficult pregnancies, through the Facebook supporters group.
Founder of the Silver Star Society, Prof Chris Redman, said there had been a miscommunication.
He added: “We are most grateful for the help that has been offered and are pleased to be able to reassure everybody concerned that the Unit is continuing its valuable work and will not close.”
To offer support with fundraising ideas or donations or for further information call 01865 221718 or email silverstar.society@orh.nhs.uk
