New mommy tells Briefly News that experience was excellent
Siane Mumba told Briefly News that she gave birth at BusaMed in Modderfontein, Ekurhuleni, via Network One Health.
"My pregnancy was listed as a pre-existing condition by the medical aid, so I spent R50,000 without the medical aid. My care consisted of all prenatal visits, ultrasounds and bloodwork throughout my pregnancy and the actual c-section," she said.
"The entire experience was world-class. I had 24-hour access to midwives if I needed anything. I have access to a support group with all the moms that gave birth at the hospital. The nurses and staff who brought my baby into the world cared for me. words can't express how grateful I am to have had such a positive experience."
"It's essential to share my experience because many women don't know these options exist."
