• Hong Kong can offer high quality health care services. Although private doctors and hospitals can be very expensive - almost on par with costs in the USA - the quality of service is excellent, and doctors speak English.
• There are a number of English-speaking international schools in Hong Kong and you will be able to find schools following the British curriculum or the International Baccalaureate system.
