Some even have offices in the United States. Such services enable expatriates to look at many more choices in terms of location, quality and price. Another issue faced by expatriates is education for children. Besides the early establishment of Shanghai International School, several new schools for foreigners have been set up in the last few years. The American School has a campus in downtown Puxi, and a branch targeted at expatriates was recently set up in a new housing development in Pudong.
Clinics offering services to foreigners are available.
Many of them are established by medical providers and insurance companies from the West. Local hospitals such as Huashan Hospital have set up special wards for foreign patients. The Huashan Ward is run by a graduate of an American medical school. You can also easily find companies and agencies offering services such as moving, renovation, cleaning or maid service. The most important issue for foreign companies is the channel for selling their products.
