Our goal being to always provide the best possible service to expecting families, we have prepared maternity plans for normal births, epidural births or Caesarean births.
Each plan includes the following:

1) Care for the mother

• Parking costs will be at 40% during the hospital stay.
• The Maternity Ward has permanent, exclusive staff that works solely in this area of the hospital, thus guaranteeing more quality care.
• The hospital stay for both vaginal and Caesarean birth patients is usually 24 hours at the Hospital Clínica Bíblica.
• Extra days have an additional cost (including care for mother and infant).
• Twin births have an additional cost for care for the second newborn.
• Patients with a birth or Caesarean plan can be examined free of charge as often as necessary by obstetric nurses before they are checked in.
