KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Motherhood Care+, an innovative health & wellness tech startup based in Malaysia, announced today the successful completion of a seed funding round in December 2023, led by Care Ventures Group, a fund specialising in healthcare, wellness, medical, and AI technologies.

Motherhood Care+: The Future of Maternity

Motherhood Care+ aims to elevate maternity care standards by integrating a comprehensive array of products and services from confinement centres, confinement nannies, and confinement wellness providers. Recognising the critical importance of prenatal and postnatal health & wellness for new mothers, the startup supports women throughout their 9-month pregnancy journey and the crucial first 100 days post-birth.

Motherhood Care+ is a female-led and female-founded company, established in May 2023 by Tan Yew Aik and Goh Shze Yinn. Ms. Tan brings over a decade of experience in the postpartum care and maternity industry and is a co-founder and committee member of the Malaysian Postpartum Care Association.

“We are thrilled to partner with Care Ventures Group, whose investment underscores our mission to transform the maternity care and wellness landscape,” said SY Goh, Co-founder of Motherhood Care+. “With this funding, we plan to expand our platform and enhance our technology to streamline operations and optimise user experience. In the next six months, we aim to feature at least 750 confinement centre rooms and 1,300 confinement nannies in the Care+ Members App, enabling us to better serve mothers across Malaysia and Singapore.”
