Medical Care, midwife care and household help

Medical care

Health insurances cover the costs of prenatal classes, regular medical care and medical check-ups as well as all costs connected with the delivery of the baby.

Midwife care

Postnatal care can be covered through a midwife. You can obtain information on homebirth or midwife care from your health insurance as well.

Household help

• Mothers and / or fathers with a governmental health insurance who find themselves unable to manage their household due to a hospitalisation or a preventive or rehabilitation treatment can ask for a household help.
• Requirement: a child no older than 12 years or a disabled child in need of help shares said household.
• A household help can be organised by the health insurance or placed through a social service charity.
• You can organise your own household help too. Costs will be covered through your health insurance to an appropriate level.

• Help of relatives to second degree are not covered by your health insurance. However, the health insurance can cover transportation costs and loss of earnings should these occur in a sensible relation to the expenditure a regular household help would cause.
