A WELCOMED ADDITION...
The imminent arrival of a little bundle of joy is a time of great excitement for any mom-to-be. It can also be a daunting time, filled with questions and the need for a good support structure.
At Sizwe we are constantly exploring ways of going the extra mile for our loyal Sizwe members, and adding value to our medical fund offering.
For this reason we are delighted to announce the launch of Sizwe Baby, a comprehensive Maternity Care Programme designed to offer Sizwe moms-to-be the best in healthcare, benefits and advice.
HOW THE PROGRAMME WORKS...
This programme offers Sizwe moms access to comprehensive support, both during and after the birth of their children. Our multi-pronged approach includes the following:
PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT...
The Sizwe Baby Maternity Care Programme lists exactly what benefits female members have access to, as well as how often they should book doctors’ appointments. This plan also clearly details healthcare practitioners in terms of what is covered, should members enquire.
Sizwe Baby offers unlimited pre- and post-natal telephonic support via a dedicated help line. This support extends to cover issues such as miscarriages and pregnancy terminations. Personal, outbound callsare regularly made by experienced midwives. The purpose of these is to have a one-to-one connection with Sizwe members, and to assist with risk identification and pertinent pregnancy information.
Should the need arise, the midwife will refer the member to professionals such as chronic disease experts, psychologists and more.
REGULAR COMMUNICATION...
All Sizwe mom's-to-be will be given a copy of the Sizwe Baby Maternity Manual filled with parenting tips, practical hints and sound advice on the important issues facing moms-to-be and parents of new-borns.
An informative newsletter will be issued per pregnancy trimester, highlighting changes to be experienced by mom and baby in that trimester. A regular Sizwe Baby Electronic Mailer will be sent by Sizwe to relevant healthcare practitioners on the Sizwe network.
RESOURCES, GIFTS AND DISCOUNTS...
The Sizwe Baby Website is a vital online tool providing information on all baby and maternity matters. The website is smartphone- and tablet-friendly, and those members who do not have online access will be able to view the information via the midwife in the Sizwe Baby Care Centre.
Sizwe members will be given access to the Sizwe Online Shopping Mall during their pregnancy and after the birth of their babies. This mall will offer exclusive discounts and special offers on baby and maternity goods. Our Sizwe Maternity Bag is a high-quality, durable gift to Sizwe moms-to-be.
This beautiful gift is presented in the member’s final trimester, and includes a delightful branded baby gro, a magazine, toiletries
and a pack of new-born diapers.
THE BENEFITS FOR OUR MOMS-TO-BE...
Sizwe Baby Maternity Care Programme is an excellent way of consistently educating Sizwe moms-to-be about their own health
and wellness, as well as that of their unborn or new-born child. This will leave the mom empowered through knowledge imparted to her, and the caring support received through her pregnancy journey. Timely check-ups are encouraged and health risks are assessed during the programme.
Specially-trained nurses and midwives manage the Care Centre, so members have access to professionals every step of the way.
The support afforded to female members by the Sizwe Baby programme is available to the member for 12 months after registration, helping them through those testing early days of being a new mom and coping with feeding and caring for baby.
The gifts, discounts, magazines and vouchers all communicate a powerful message to Sizwe members:
Sizwe CARES, and caring comes naturally to us!
