It covers early caesarean deliveries and grants newborns with health insurance cover.

AXA Insurance has launched a single premium three-year prenatal plan, which covers early caesarean deliveries and grants a free first-year health insurance cover for the newborn without medical underwriting.

AXA EmpoweredMum provides mothers with 15% of the sum assured for a caesarean delivery at less than 36 weeks of gestation, in addition to 100% of the sum assured if the mother and child are diagnosed with any of the 15 pregnancy complications and 26 congenital illnesses covered, respectively.

Moreover, both the mother and child will receive 2% of the sum assured per day of hospitalisation due to any of the covered hospitalisation events for up to 30 days, and 100% of the sum assured in the unfortunate event of death.

In the event of diagnosis of developmental delay in gross motor or speech development of the child, 15% of the sum assured (up to S$3,000) will be provided.
