Gp Shared Antenatal Care
We put YOU first. Your every day activity and the stress of pregnancy is taken into consideration
In a bid to run an all inclusive Antenatal care plan, RuminaCare is introducing Gp shared Antenatal home care for women tailored specifically to suit their needs.
Gp shared antenatal home care means sharing your pregnancy care between RuminaCare and our partner private hospitals. In this type of care a mum-to-be is allowed the flexibility of choosing to have most of her care from the comfort of her home or office space while still having access to specialist care at the hospital. Say Goodbye to the days when you have to sit or drive for long hours to join a long queue at the hospital or days when you have to wake up early just to get a good spot. We at Rumincare will bring your Antenatal care to your comfort zone whilst having at the back of our minds that specialist visit is also a must!
Our care system is not just centered around the baby, we also create time for you to talk about your general well being, changes that occur in your body during pregnancy and your mental health. This is your opportunity to discuss your concerns one-on-one with a qualified and friendly female Doctor.
