pregnancy and maternity packages

By | September 18, 2017

Pregnancy is often filled with a mix of intense emotions like excitement, fear, doubt, or love. For first pregnancies, every experience is novel. But since each pregnancy is unique, even seasoned moms may find themselves wrestling with unfamiliar feelings or uncertainties. They may just want to find other women going through similar experiences.

Facilities and services to inquire when choosing a private clinic are :

  • Different packages available
  • Number of days of the stay
    Normally 1 night or 2 for a normal delivery and up to 4 days for a CS.
  • Whether the clinic offers an extra bed free of charge.
  • Visiting hours
  • Clinic policy

Delivery in Clinics around Mauritius has different costs ranging from Rs 50 000 to Rs 100 000 in case of c-section. However, public hospitals are free of charge.

Some of the most notable Clinics in Mauritius for delivery include :Wellkin Hospital (which was Apollo), Darné & Bon Pasteur.

Do you have an insurance? The full cost if usually covered depending on your insurance company and package. If you are covered by a medical insurance, then you should make the most of it. The majority of medical insurance policies cover pregnancies but however, you must inquire with the insurance company to make sure about the policy applicable to you.  Most insurance policies will cover the totality of the delivery charges. Some medical policies also allow you to book an insurance cover for your future baby in advance so that he / she is automatically covered upon birth.
