For clinicians

Keep your practice. Join a maternity programme that already runs.

You stay independent — your practice, your patients, your clinical judgement. Network One Health carries the pathway, the contracts, the coordination and the admin around you. You get predictable income, real time off through pooled call, and no unpaid paperwork. We have run this since 2022 across Johannesburg and Pretoria, measuring every outcome.

The proposition

Value-based care, in plain terms.

We organise maternity around the whole pregnancy, not the single consultation. The unit we build around is the maternity episode, from booking to the six-week review, and the measure is a good outcome for mother and baby at a fair, predictable cost. That one decision changes what your working life looks like.

Predictable income, instead of piece-by-piece billing that rises and falls with volume.
Pooled call across the whole team, so you get real time off, not phantom cover.
No unpaid admin. Booking, billing, authorisations and scheme follow-up are ours. Routine queries go to the midwife and care coordinator, not your personal phone.
Incentives that point the same way as good care. The way we share the fee never rewards unnecessary visits, never punishes appropriate escalation, and never pressures a team to keep a high-risk woman in a low-risk package.

The measure, contract, improve loop is the point. We measure outcomes against defined standards; those measures inform how we contract with funders; and better outcomes free up the value that funds the team properly. Do the work well and everyone, patient, clinician and funder, is better off. That loop is what makes this durable rather than a discount scheme.

What changes, and what doesn't

You keep the practice. We carry the machinery.

You do not give anything up to take part. Your appointment is non-exclusive: you keep seeing your own patients elsewhere, and you remain clinically and professionally autonomous.

What stays yours

Your practice. We do not own it or run it.
Your patients stay your patients.
Your clinical judgement and professional autonomy.
Your private gynaecology practice, explicitly retained.
How much you take part, and in which role.

What we carry

The clinical pathway, protocols and SOPs.
The funder contracts and scheme relationships.
Patient coordination, navigation and midwife filtering.
Data, reporting, the audit trail and outcome measurement.
Billing, authorisations and administration.

How you are paid

Clear terms, agreed upfront.

You are paid for the care you deliver, not for referrals. Where we delegate clinical work to a referring practitioner, for example the six-month test-of-cure in the ColpoCare pathway, that work is paid. We talk every detail through with you, and terms are settled before you commit.

Start fee-for-service

As we begin together, you are paid per item for the work you do, a clean and familiar footing.

Move to a structured model

A retainer for the lead obstetrician that recognises governance and leadership, and sessional fees for the other disciplines and grades.

Benchmarked, fairly

Fees are set against a recognised medical-scheme benchmark, KeyCare-informed, and adapted to each site to approximate fair fee-for-service earnings.

Paid promptly

A single monthly invoice, settled without you chasing schemes for your own money.

What you do not have to fund: no capital to put in, no rooms to rent, no admin team to carry. The support office is part of the product, not a cost we pass to you.

Some disciplines sit outside the shared fee and bill directly: the paediatrician bills the baby's medical aid, and anaesthetics, sonography and pathology bill on their own lines. Work that falls outside the programme, such as major maternal complications, non-programme gynaecology and fertility, remains yours to bill through your own practice.

Governance and accountability

Named lines, and they hold.

You are joining a governed programme with clear accountability, not a loose panel. The accountable clinical entity is Dr H P Manyonga & Associates Inc.; the accountable operating entity is Network One Health.

Who signs off. A governance council of the Director, Lead Obstetrician, Practice Manager and Admin Lead owns clinical policy, pathway and standards. A joint audit and quality committee reviews the scorecards and every reportable incident. At each site, a partnership group integrates our governance with the host hospital's.
A fixed cadence. A weekly clinical huddle, a monthly multidisciplinary case review, a monthly operational meeting, and quarterly and annual contract reviews.
Escalation with time thresholds, not good intentions. A serious incident is notified to the clinical leads within the hour and to the council within a day, with a root-cause analysis started within five working days. If in doubt, we classify up.
A defined dispute path. Direct discussion first, then mediation and, if needed, arbitration under AFSA rules.
Quality metrics that help, not punish. Caesarean and vaginal birth rates, NICU admissions, maternal complications and patient experience are tracked for governance and improvement. In the implementation phase they carry no direct financial penalty.

The team

Everyone at the top of their scope.

One integrated maternity team around the woman, with clean, governed interfaces to the specialists who bill separately.

Obstetrician. Risk classification, care-plan sign-off, the high-risk booking visit, the 36-week handover, caesarean sections, in-labour complication review, and round-the-clock backup to midwifery-led labour. The contacts that need you, not every contact.
Midwife. The backbone of routine antenatal care; midwife-led labour and birth for low-risk women with obstetric backup; postnatal rounds, breastfeeding support and education. Sessional or employed.
General practitioner and medical officer. Antenatal consults within the pathway, so every patient sees a doctor at defined points. Shared antenatal care available.
Anaesthetist. Pre-operative assessment, caesarean anaesthesia, epidural analgesia on request, and rostered cover.
Paediatrician. Delivery-room attendance for caesareans, newborn assessment, and discharge clearance. Bills the baby's medical aid directly, never the mother.
Sonographer. The defined obstetric scans on the pathway, with findings back to the team promptly.
Care coordinator and doula. Navigation, continuity, education and escalation prompts; continuous labour support and postnatal follow-up. No diagnosis, no medication.
Referring doctor. Stays in the loop and gets the patient back, with the care plan and recall dates. Shared-care pathways include ColpoCare and shared antenatal care.

What we ask of every provider

Short, and non-negotiable.

These are what make the standard real.

Active registration and specialist indemnity in force, notified on onboarding.
An active role in the team, including attendance at the monthly multidisciplinary case review and participation in care-plan, SOP and adverse-event review.
Records completed contemporaneously in the designated EMR, so the whole team and the audit trail stay current.
A defined on-call response for the obstetric role: reachable quickly by phone, and on site fast for an emergency.

How to take part

Three steps, no capital.

Express interest

The provider network lists every discipline we are recruiting and what each role involves.

Have a conversation

We walk you through the service level agreement for your discipline and your site, and answer every question.

Agree the terms upfront

Nothing is signed until the fee schedule and the terms are clear and settled.

A Network One Health clinician with a patient

Proven, not theoretical

We have run this maternity service since 2022 across Johannesburg and Pretoria, measuring maternal and neonatal outcomes against defined standards. You are joining something that already runs.

Dr HP Manyonga also leads a digital-colposcopy training programme across eight centres for Kiara Health, and the same women's-health engine that runs maternity extends into ColpoCare and a fibroid pathway in development.

Care practised to the BANC Plus antenatal standard and SASOG BetterObs, on a designated EMR and POPIA-compliant. Standards we practise to, not memberships — no affiliation or accreditation is implied.
