Care Guide · Japa (Postpartum Care)
Japa care, done properly.
Trained, verified postpartum caregivers — and the knowledge behind them.
A Japa (postpartum caregiver) supports a mother and newborn through the first weeks after birth — feeding, recovery, the baby's routine, and the practical load a family can't carry alone. This is what good Japa care actually is, and how Medlion trains, verifies, and coordinates the people who provide it.
For families
You don't just need 'a maid' or 'an aaya'. You need someone trained in newborn care and a mother's recovery, whose skills and background are actually verified — coordinated by a Recovery Manager, not left to chance.
- Trained in newborn care, feeding support, and postpartum recovery
- Background-checked and skill-verified before they reach your home
- Coordinated by a Recovery Manager who holds the whole plan
For caregivers
Japa work is real, in-demand, and skilled. Medlion trains you, certifies what you can do, verifies your background, and connects you to families — so your capability is provable, not just claimed.
- Free structured training (video lessons + assessment)
- A verified capability profile families and clinics can trust
- Work, reputation, and growth inside one platform
