China's birth rate has fallen so much that many hospitals are simply giving up on delivering babies

• China's falling birth rate is leading to the closure of many hospital obstetrics departments.
• The fertility decline has forced hospitals to offer other services.
• Despite government incentives to boost birth rates, many young Chinese people are not keen to have kids.

People in China are having fewer babies — so much so that many hospitals in the country have stopped delivery services altogether, according to state-owned The Paper in a Monday report.
