Pregnant women giving cash to doctors

Twenty-four percent of Chinese mothers gave hongbao (red envelopes with money) to doctors before they delivered children to ensure that they receive better care during birth, a survey showed.

The envelopes contained an average of about 620 yuan ($90), according to the random sampling survey released on Tuesday.

The survey interviewed 1,227 pregnant women and mothers with children aged 1 to 6 years old in cities nationwide.
