Under the Postnatal Community Midwifery Home Care services, a dedicated and skilled team of midwives and nursing patient care assistants provide specialised postpartum care to women, who have experienced a high-risk pregnancy or given birth by Caesarian section all in the comfort of their homes.

This ensures that mothers and their newborn receive timely, individualised care following delivery. The team supports recovery and facilitates referral to primary health care or specialised services when needed. This early intervention reduces emergency hospital visits, prevents surgical site infections and minimise hospital readmissions.
