Philhealth – 2 copies of: CF1, MDR List of contribution
Community Tax Certificate

Make sure to pack your things for the hospital days before your expected date, as you may be in labor any time. Have your bag ready with the following items :

Mommy’s things:

Clothes – sleep wear, robe, going home outfit
Toiletries – napkins
Hair Care – clips or hair bands

Clothes – tie sides, bonnets, mittens, socks

Transport arrangements

Prepare for transport arrangements when going to and from the hospital to ensure a comfortable ride for you and your baby.

If you don’t have a private vehicle, consider transportation services like Grab. Be sure to download the app in your mobile phone ahead of time.

Who’s going with you?

Have an assigned companion during your entire hospital stay. Your husband or any adult family member would be ideal as he/she can attend to your needs.
