Shanghai Redleaf International Women’s and Children’s Hospital, forming a “Miniature United Nations”

As a medical institution focused on the needs of the expatriate community, Shanghai Redleaf International Women's and Children's Hospital has seen the birth of over 1800 infants of varying races and nationalities, resembling a miniature United Nations. The 130 medical professionals at Redleaf hail from such countries and regions as the USA, the Philippines and Taiwan, and provide Chinese and English bilingual services to Redleaf families. This has led parents of over one hundred nationalities to choose Redleaf, creating a perfect example of non-governmental diplomacy, bringing people of different backgrounds closer together.

This series of events was hosted by renowned media personality Yang Jinlin. Reflecting the spirit of the medical profession, doctors and families at Redleaf have developed strong bonds of mutual trust and support. In the case of a mother whose womb had not fully developed and whose foreign-national baby was born prematurely at only 1.810kg with extremely unstable blood sugar levels, they were able to nurse the infant back from the brink and save its life. Dr Carenia Kuan from the USA has 30 years experience as a pediatrician. Her Pediatrics and New Birth Pediatrics teams at Redleaf share a wealth of experience as well as being very international.

Redleaf also offers highly personalised post-natal service, including comprehensive infant care as well as care and support for new mothers. Flower arrangements, bookmark decoration and handcraft discussions are some of the activities that await new mothers as they enjoy their month's rest, which is a kind of postnatal care in China. Attention to every detail ensures that new families find the feeling of a real home at Redleaf.

A lot has changed in four years as Redleaf has constantly improved and sharpened every aspect of its service, all the while adhering to its mission to lead the way in the development of the industry and provide the highest quality in medical service. Redleaf stands ready to face future growth alongside all the Redleaf families.
