Natural is Priceless

Home » About Us » Natural is Priceless

An Apollo Group initiative to encourage natural childbirth

Natural childbirth is every doctor’s first advice. Simply because Mother Nature has prepared women to give birth naturally. Yet, labour is not something we would recommend you accomplish alone. You need the support of family and friends, and the assurance of experienced birth professionals at your side.

This is where Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital steps in. With a 36 years legacy of clinical excellence. With the confidence of bringing more than 200,000+ babies safely into our world. With the tradition of serving you from the heart.

Delivering joy

Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital was born out of our belief that childbirth is a celebration. Our team of experts renders impeccable maternity gynaecology, neonatal, paediatric and fertility services from state-of-the-art facilities. Clinical excellence, patient experience, safety and trust are the keystones of our foundation. We uphold them by delivering joy through tender loving care in an environment that replicates the warmth and comfort of home.

It’s a mother’s choice

How to deliver your baby is a choice you can make within the limits of safety and reality. At Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital, our doctors will help you make the perfect decision, as they are guided by the philosophy of doing the right thing for the mother and the baby.

Our motherhood packages include nutritional counselling, fitness training and a variety of workshops. These not only help expectant mothers stay healthy, but also aid in natural delivery

One price pledge

At Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital we have taken the pledge to do what is right for the mother and baby. We believe that the cost of delivering a child should not be determined by the method chosen. We make no distinction between the cost of a natural birth and a cesarean birth.

We are transparent in all our communications. The cost we indicate to you will be the one that will appear on your final bill.

No surprises – only a firm commitment.
