Madein offers an exceptional experience in China similar to that of the West. They prize themselves in patient oriented care. There are several delivery packages available from around USD3000 and up. Some pros about the hospital are that they are willing to work with you on a birth plan, allow the husband or advocate to accompany the whole way, and provide meals of your choice.
Cons include low English level of doctors, having to wear delivery pants, having to move to a delivery room, did not perform circumcisions, and do not accept credit cards.
- VIP Rooms:
- Are big and set up like a one bedroom apartment with one living room and two bathrooms
- Provide ADSL (no wireless)
- Include meals (local Chinese food)
- Include a fridge to store items
- Include a microwave
- TV is provided but with Chinese channels (no DVD player)
- A midwife can stay in the same room so that at nights, you don’t have to get up; she will bring the baby to you for feeding, help with nappy changes, etc…
- General:
- Hospital is within walking distance to a Tesco.
- Limited English-speaking staff, but all are very helpful.

Hello again… Can one hire a midwife from your hospital?.. And does the hospital allow home birth?
Am in china and pregnant.. Looking for a good hospital… Hope this one is best but I heard it’s too expensive. And do they really provide water birth service?
As far as I know they still do waterbirths. I’ve also heard they can work with your insurance to do direct billing and take credit cards now Too.
Dear All,
We made use to this hospital and the first impression is that the hospital is good for delivery a baby. When everything goes well it certainly will not be a problem. But one of the most important reasons to go to a hospital is to have good medical care when you need it. In our case one of the fetus of the twin came in a stress situation and the doctors and nurses simple did not know how to react. Instead of knowing situation and the signals they simple keep on testing and testing for a heartbeat. Afterwards we found out that they simply used the equipment wrong. They did not measure the heart beat at all! Also the manufacturer of the equipment told us.
Looking back we realize that the hospital never have considered if the babies are better of inside or outside the belly. Inside the belly is always a risk, but also outside. Every time a risk analyze should be made and discussed with the nurses so that they know what to do when something happens. What you have now is a hospital where people work as robots and doing the same thing over and over again.
When you look for a hospital, please avoid this!
We are preparing to deliver here. We have been very pleased with Dr. Song. We told her we want to do a Water Birth. She said yes but we were afraid that she might just be saying that to get our business. On our second visit I asked if she’s been studying up on Water Birth. She said yes and then the Director of the OB/GYN came in and we talked with her about it and she said she had gone to visit a Water Birth Hospital in Beijing so she can start planning on incorporating this into their hospital. The feeling we get from this hospital is that they want to offer the COMPLETE range of birthing options from Painless Epidural all the way to natural water birth. We are thrilled to be their first water birth and are excited to work with them. We have friend who’ve delivered here and there aren’t many complaints.
I had my baby at this hospital and was extremely pleased with the experience. Dr. Wang (the only English speaking doctor around) was extremely helpful and was always there to help when needed. Her phone was always reachable.
Some notes about the hospital:
The VIP rooms are pretty big and is set up like a one bedroom apartment with one living room and two bathrooms
ADSL is provided but no wireless
Meals are included as well (local Chinese food) which weren’t that bad

There is a fridge to store items you buy from Tesco
There is a microwave for things you want to heat up
TV is provided but only with Chinese channels (no DVD player)
Limited English speaking staff but all are very helpful
If needed, a midwife will stay with you in the same room so that at nights, you don’t have to get up; she will bring the baby to you for feeding, help with nappy changes, etc.
Some other info to share:
You could stay in a hotel somewhere until your water breaks or just stay at the hospital prior to delivery – in which case, they will monitor you and the baby etc. until the time comes. The monitoring can get annoying at times because they would come in your room like twice-three times a day but according to my mom and mom-in-law (both were staying with us at the hospital!) convinced me that that was better than nothing.
I had a c-section and came out of the delivery room ready to have my second! Everything went really smoothly.
Since I had a c-section, I had to stay in the hospital for 7 days for recovery and it was perfect
As we’re in China, we had prepared some simple gifts to provide to the staff prior to our leave (we gave them cookies/chocolates/Malaysian sarongs)
Ella » Wow, thanks so much for the updated information. As you can now see on the article, I’ve incorporated some of your notes!
