Mother and Baby Care Programme

This Programme is available to members and their dependants during their pregnancy, the birth and after the birth.

The following services are covered:

• 100% of the SPNP rate for midwives (for midwife delivery or home delivery).
• Education and support services.
• Care after the birth services, e.g. home visits by a registered nurse and phototherapy treatment for your baby at home, if required, subject to managed healthcare protocols and pre-authorisation.
• A Doula (birthing coach) on all the options as part of the in-hospital maternity benefits, subject to a limit of R3 270 per pregnancy, specifically for the confinement (delivery).
