"It is important to keep in mind that healthcare facilities in China are not equivalent to those in many Western countries. As an expat, it is a good idea to research local hospitals and birth centers in advance and consult with a healthcare professional who is familiar with the local regulations and healthcare resources. In addition, make sure to check the credentials of any doctor or midwife that you are considering for the delivery of your baby. Finally, familiarize yourself with the steps necessary to apply for a birth certificate so that your child will have an official record of their birth," remarked another expat who made the move to Qingdao, China, China.
