Hospital Delivery Packages in Dubai, Paid Monthly
A hospital delivery package covers the birth itself for a price agreed with the hospital in advance. Smart Care Polyclinic in Deira has arrangements with nearby hospitals, and rather than paying the hospital in one amount, you pay the clinic in monthly instalments starting from AED 900, depending on the package you choose. In the middle of your third trimester we arrange the hospital package for you, so the administration is handled before you go into labour.
Instalments: from AED 900 a month, depending on the package
For: a planned normal delivery or caesarean section
Arranged: in the middle of the third trimester
What it is
A delivery package is the hospital's fixed price for the birth. Hospitals in Dubai offer packages for a normal delivery and for a caesarean section, and each lists what it includes. Smart Care is an outpatient clinic, so the birth takes place in hospital; what we do is help you choose a package with one of the nearby hospitals we have arrangements with, collect the cost from you month by month, and book it with the hospital on your behalf.
Paying monthly spreads the cost across the pregnancy. The instalment starts from AED 900 a month and depends on the package you choose. Your antenatal visits, scans and blood tests carry on at the clinic as normal while you pay.
The hospital booking is made in the middle of the third trimester. The third trimester runs from 28 weeks to the birth. Around its midpoint we arrange the hospital delivery package for you and send your antenatal records with it, so you are not left dealing with hospital forms, quotes and phone calls in the final weeks of pregnancy.
How it works, step by step
1. Choose your package. At your antenatal appointment the gynaecologist explains the delivery packages available with the nearby hospitals we work with, normal delivery or caesarean section, and which suits your pregnancy.
2. Pay monthly through the clinic. We collect your instalment each month. The amount depends on the package you have chosen, starting from AED 900 a month.
3. We arrange the hospital package. In the middle of the third trimester we book the delivery package with the hospital for you and pass on your antenatal records.
4. You deliver at the hospital. When labour starts, or on your planned date, you go to the hospital named in your package.
What the package covers, and what it does not
The package covers what the hospital's package lists, and nothing more. Anything outside it is billed by the hospital and paid by you directly to the hospital. Depending on the package, that can include extra nights in hospital, care for the baby in a neonatal unit, additional tests or medicines, or a change of plan such as an emergency caesarean section when a normal delivery was booked. The gynaecologist goes through the inclusions with you before you choose, so the common extras are known in advance.
Who looks after you
Specialist obstetrician-gynaecologists provide antenatal care at the clinic, with ultrasound in the consultation. Dr Rasheeda J. Bhavnagarwala also performs normal deliveries, caesarean sections and other obstetric and gynaecological surgery in hospital. Ask at your consultation which doctor and which hospital will be involved in your delivery.
Why arrange it through the clinic
One place handles it from the first scan to the hospital booking. The cost is spread across the months rather than paid in one amount, the clinic that knows your pregnancy deals with the hospital, and your records travel with the booking.
