Ladies, It's encouraging to hear positive thoughts on QMH and also appreciated Carang's story. So, thank you.
I've only lived in Hong Kong for 2 weeks. I came to HK with a "pre-existing condition"--pregnancy. I'm now 29 weeks pregnant. I considered private over public care because it just sounded better, but having done a little more research including visiting Tsan Yuk, QMH, Canossa, and a private OB clinic I can't find reasons to spend 40,000hkd for delivery in a private hospital--this is very low considering that I was totally expecting to pay at least 80,000hkd. I asked my private OB in HK to provide reasons why private care is a better choice, but she basically stated that private provides a more "personal" care. I need a doctor to deliver my baby--oh, and help to administer the epidural.
As of yesterday, my health and my baby's health looks great. So, I'm canceling my upcoming appointment with my private OB and taking my chances on Tsan Yuk/QMH and report the good or bad experience later.
BTW, have you seen the views at QMH?! Expectacular!
