Private hospitals in South Africa offer excellent maternity care, but costs can vary widely. At PMB Care, we understand that expectant mothers want both safety and affordability when choosing where to give birth.
Average cost of giving birth at a private hospital
The cost of a natural birth in a private hospital generally ranges from R18,000 to R30,000, while a C-section can cost R25,000 to R45,000, depending on the facility and medical requirements.
These prices usually include:
- Delivery room and maternity stay
- Basic medical supplies
- Routine newborn checks
- Doctor and anesthetist fees (if applicable)
Affordable private maternity hospitals
Some hospitals offer lower-priced maternity packages for mothers who pay cash or don’t have medical aid. PMB Care assists patients in comparing available options and finding hospitals that balance affordability with quality care.
Why many mothers choose PMB Care instead
For low-risk pregnancies, a midwife-assisted birth at PMB Care can be significantly more affordable. Our packages cover full prenatal, labor, and postnatal care at a fraction of private hospital costs while maintaining professional safety standards.
