Where to give birth in HK?

LOJITT,
The package you mentioned from Grace Cheung, does it include the u/s at each prenatal visit? is package only available for the 4 people room? Do you know if they offer package for private room? if so, how much?

Hi there

Figuring out total costs can be difficult here. There are 4 main classes of cost- the Obstetrician's fees, the hospital's fees, the anaethetist's fees (if you need epidural/c-section) and the paediatrician's fees. I dont think it's possible to get a package that covers absolutely everything.

Lucy Lord and Grace Cheung (Obstetricians based at Central Medical Practice) do care packages for women who deliver at the Matilda or Adventist and stay in a 4 bed room. This is a fixed price for the antenatal care, attendance at the delivery and post natal care while in hospital and was HK$36000 in Jan of this year. To be clear, that excludes sonographer's scans/the hospital/ paed/anaethetist fees and post natal care once out of the hospital but is a saving on just paying all your Obstetrician bills as you go along.

Apologies, Carang, you are right, I did mean $30K & $100K. Thanks!

Matilda: vaginal delivery with Sally Ferguson, with an epidural (so includes anesthetist costs), 3 day stay in a private room, Paed costs etc. it came to $130K or so.

thank you very much for all the information. so very expensive! a friend recommended Sally Ferguson and Matilda so i'm going to Sally for my first appointment and take it from there. looks like my insurance will cover most of it, but not all of it.

LeahH were you happy with Sally?

Yes, Sally's delivered both my kids - I really like her. She has a no nonsense approach which suited me, but was really lovely when I had little issues and needed a more gentle touch.

Hi Ding dong

It includes the quick u/s they do at each appointment but not the longer u/s at 14, 20 and 28 weeks. The package is limited to patients taking a 4 bed room only unfortuantely.

I delivered with Dr Patrick Chan at Matilda and absolutely LOVE him. I've recommended him to at least 3 other friends who will also be delivering with him. I really can't say enough good things about him and would absolutely deliver with him again if I were to get pregnant again. Unfortunately he doesn't off any maternity package deals but it seems like he's cheaper than Sally Ferguson. I had a scheduled c-section staying in a private room (5 day stay) and the total cost came out to be around 120K HKD (including Paediatrician cost). So if you are going to give natural birth, the cost would come down quite a bit. Antenatal visits ranged from 850-1200 depending if there were any additional tests performed and also included an ultra-sound.
