TO help expectant mothers cope with the challenges brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, St. Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC) is providing a free room upgrade on top of other maternity care benefits from June 14 to July 31, 2021.

The room upgrade promo is part of St. Luke’s recently launched service, Patient’s Journey — the hospital’s redefined patient care management system, a holistic initiative that focuses on premium patient experience, covering maternity care as well.

The free room upgrade will include four types of rooms available in St. Luke’s — particularly the Semi-Private, Regular Private, Deluxe Private, and Executive Private rooms.

This means that if an expectant mother will get a Regular Private room, she will be entitled to have it upgraded to a Deluxe Private room subject to its availability.

In addition to the upgrade, St. Luke’s will also provide a daily refill of the room’s minibar that is free of charge, plus several freebies under its maternity care package.

Expectant mothers who are at least 36 weeks into their labor will be entitled to a free Covid-19 RT-PCR swab test to ensure their safety and well-being before delivery.

Upon giving birth, a special threecourse dinner will be served to celebrate the successful delivery of the newborn baby. Their companions will also receive free lunch and dinner meals for two days.

Besides the free meals, moms will also receive a free “I am a St. Luke’s Baby” apparel for their child along with a limited edition “Mom and Baby” bag. The bag is a high quality backpack that contains newborn essentials.

To add up, free lactation counselling service will also be made available as part of St. Luke’s advocacy in championing proper breastfeeding and the use of natural breastmilk for newborn babies.
