Dr. Chen Ching-huei, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Taipei Medical University Hospital, said that people would like to go abroad to give birth to a child, but the purpose is to obtain a foreign nationality, otherwise, it is not necessary to go all the way to an unfamiliar place to give birth to a child, because of the ease of access to the healthcare system in China, the healthcare insurance to pay for healthcare costs and the proximity of family members and friends.
At one time, you have to go to several hospitals to give birth in a foreign country, and a lot of women who are married to foreigners have chosen to go back to Taiwan to give birth to their babies and have their mothers' families look after them, because they don't have to worry about their citizenship no matter where they are.
The reason for this is that it's easy to get medical care in Taiwan, and the cost of medical care is much cheaper than abroad. The first time I saw this, I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the hospital.
In addition, many obstetricians and gynecologists in China will help pregnant women to take ultrasound photos or 3D or 4D ultrasound photos during each checkup, but there is no such custom in foreign countries. As long as there is no risk in the assessment, the pregnant women will not be asked to do extra checkups.
Production costs, often hundreds of thousands of jumps Overseas production process if the adoption of natural birth, about one or two days after the birth of the hospital, or even the next day was asked to go home, cesarean section of about five days, but if the mother did not have insurance (most of the birth of a mother abroad do not have foreign insurance), the cost of a cesarean section is the same as in Taiwan, but it is not the same as in the United States. The cost of a cesarean section is 5 to 10 times more than in Taiwan, the medical center to 1 to 2 million U.S. dollars (300,000 to 600,000 Taiwan dollars), small clinics at least 10,000 U.S. dollars (300,000 Taiwan dollars), even if it is a natural birth, but also cost Taiwan $ 200,000, so the medical costs of the birth alone look hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Complications arise, costing nearly ten million As the U.S. is now more stringent in its inspections, many expectant mothers will take advantage of the fact that their stomachs are not obvious to go abroad first to wait for the birth. The problem is that in the later stages of pregnancy, in the event of a situation, such as: early breakthroughs, contractions, or the need to carry out the anesthesia, the cost of the part is very scary. There have been cases where pregnant women have gone into premature labor a month early and their babies have lived in incubators, and the hospitalization and medical expenses for both the mother and the baby have cost nearly 10 million Taiwan dollars, mainly because the mother and the baby are not insured.
The mother of the child, who is planning to give birth abroad, assumed that the entire pregnancy to the birth of the child is very smooth, there is no premature birth or other complications, including difficult labor, hemorrhage, etc., then at least to prepare for the 50 ~ 1 million Taiwan dollars. In the unfortunate event of complications or premature labor, the baby will need to stay in an incubator, or even need to be intubated, and the cost will be difficult to estimate. More complex and serious problems may cost millions or tens of millions of dollars, so be sure to give it some thought before planning.
The cost is the most important thing to consider, and the rest is relatively easy to deal with. Nowadays, there are a number of agencies that can help you arrange for a baby sitter to be provided at Chinese standards as much as possible, but it's important to understand that the ingredients, the medicines, and the manpower to take care of the baby can't be the same as they would be at home.
Problems you may face after the baby is born Dr. Chen Jinghui said that the baby may also have a condition during the month. In case of fever or jaundice that requires light, or respiratory infections, etc., all costs will have to be paid out of pocket. In addition to the cost, when looking for a surrogate agency, be sure to find out if the monthly center has a pediatrician to work with.
In Taiwan, after the birth of the baby sick, vaccinations are paid by the health insurance; foreign countries do not have such a benefit, including the birth of immunoglobulin, BCG, etc. have to pay out of pocket, and the vaccine program and Taiwan is not the same, for example, Hepatitis B is not the United States of America is not a common disease, is not included in the routine vaccine program, so because of the differences in the customs and habits of the people, some of the vaccines have to find time to go back to their home countries and then fill the vaccine.
Foreign agency without regulations, the risk to be responsible foreign mother a birth on the home to start normal activities, there is no sitting in the matter, so the local *** There is no need to do the norms for the monthly center, a lot of sitting in the monthly agency is the residential conversion, separated from the room to provide a lot of Taiwan to go to the moms sitting in the monthly.
The baby room in the moonlight center is not like Taiwan must be responsible for the care of nursing staff, and the provisions of each nurse can take care of a few newborns, and there is also space and equipment specifications; many foreign countries are foreign workers or Obasan to help take care of the baby throughout the whole process, the equipment of course, not as good as in the country, because of the lack of regulations, all the risks have to be borne by the person himself.
Frequently asked questions about giving birth abroad & preparation What should I be aware of when planning a birth abroad?
1. Do your homework beforehand, and make sure you understand the local healthcare and other fees. 2. Understand what risks are involved in labor, delivery, and post-partum. 3. There are no regulations on foreign countries to regulate the birth center, so it's best to ask your local friends and relatives to help you check out the environment of the birth center and the birth center. 4. Investigate local doctors (including obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics) and hospitals that can work with you. 5. It's not safe to look at the information provided by the agency in your home country, so it's a good idea to ask more questions of the mothers who have had their babies abroad.
