Are you planning to give birth at Perpetual Succour Hospital (Cebu) and looking for budget-friendly options? Their Maternity Service Package (MSP) might be a good fit! It offers significant discounts on fees for lab tests, ultrasounds, accommodation, and delivery.
As promised, I’m sharing an updated maternity service package of Perpetual Succour Hospital here in Cebu. Know that it’s not fully free nor a charity program for moms-to-be. However, you will get significant discounts on fees for lab tests, ultrasounds, accommodation (only a ward is available), and labor/delivery rooms.
Who’s eligible for PSH’s maternity service program?
All pregnant women up to 32 weeks and 6 days age of gestation (AOG) can join PSH’s Maternity Service Package (MSP) program at the Out-Patient Department (OPD). If you’re 33 weeks of AOG and beyond, you can submit a written referral and consent from your private OB or health centers for transfer of prenatal care.
The PSH Outpatient Department is open from Monday to Friday (except on Holidays) from 8am to 2pm, Tuesday from 8am to 12 am; Saturdays, from 8am to 12am. The cut-off time is 10am. For more information, you can call PSH OPD at 032-233-8620 loc 120.
What are the requirements for enrollment in PSH Maternity Service Package?
- P1,500 as enrolment fee to the Maternity Service Package and an initial downpayment (the remaining balance will be paid in installments, at least P750 per visit, until fully paid). The total Normal delivery fee under their maternity package is P8,000; the Caesarian Delivery Fee is P20,000.
- Attendance at the Maternity Service Package (MSP) orientation, scheduled at 9 AM from Monday to Friday (except Tuesdays & holidays), in the conference room of the the PSH Outpatient Department.

What are the privileges of being enrolled in the Maternity Service Package?
- 30% discount on lab tests and ultrasounds done at PSH
- Discounted hospital fees for normal delivery (P8,000) covering all prenatal and post partum visits, labor room fee (24H), delivery room fee, 1 day ward accommodation for the mom, and 1 day nursery accommodation for the baby.

Can you use your private health insurance or HMOs?
No. Health insurance/HMOs cannot be used if you are enrolled in the maternity service package of PSH. However, Philhealth coverage can be used by enrollees in the program.
What to expect during labor & delivery under their Maternity Service Package Program?
Since you don’t have a private OB, you will be under the care of the Resident Physician and medical students on duty at the time of your labor and delivery. Your relatives and other non-medical staff are not allowed to enter the labor and delivery room in order to maintain the sterility of the area. Only one watcher is allowed after the delivery at the Recovery room.
I hope this helps you prepare for your most anticipated day – the arrival of your bundle of joy.
