Caring for mother and baby

Quality healthcare is critical during pregnancy. Prenatal care and screening benefit both mother and baby. For the average healthy pregnancy and birth, the estimated medical costs can be in excess of R120 000. Expectant parents should be able to depend on comprehensive health cover for complete peace of mind.

Raising a healthy child involves optimal health, nutritional and physical well-being and future education needs. Average medical costs for the first two years of a child’s life, including GP and specialist visits can be as much as R80 000. In the unfortunate event that a child is admitted to neonatal ICU, ultra-high cost claims can be in excess of R4 million. Complete cover for the health of a young family should provide access to comprehensive healthcare, alongside access to vital clinical support and knowledge.
