Manulife ReadyMummy: Singapore’s first maternity plan with mental wellness and miscarriage due to accident coverage

Manulife Singapore today launched ReadyMummy, a single premium 3-year maternity plan¹ that provides protection for expecting mothers from as early as 13 weeks into the pregnancy, and their child from birth, all the way until the policy ends.
