An English-speaking doctor

This site does not list named obstetricians. Rosters change. Ask the international or special-needs desk for the current English-speaking attending list, then meet two doctors before you buy a package. At United Family and OASIS, doctor profiles are on the hospital site. See the translator guide if you will use a public ward.

Best for High-risk pregnancies that need a national referral hospital.
