Resources for China are mainly national public-health, nutrition and humanitarian organizations. They include the national authority for maternal and child health, the nutrition society’s maternal and child branch, charities that bring health education to women in communities with limited access, the national centre for disease control and UNICEF China.
For check-ups and clinical care, local maternal and child health hospitals remain the place to go. Several of the official sites are in Chinese, so a translation tool can help.

Phone numbers, opening hours and addresses change, so confirm them on the official site before you rely on them. We do not run these services, and being listed does not mean an organization endorses this website.
