Life begins with the first cry.
In the early morning of April 25th, Ms. Liu from Yongzhou, Hunan Province welcomed her fourth child in Hunan Maternal and Child Health Hospital (hereinafter referred to as "Provincial Maternal and Child").
Different from other parturients, this is a "gift" that Ms. Liu resolutely chose to save women and children after experiencing many cesarean sections and the fetal membrane has been broken, risking great surgery.
Compared with other specialized hospitals, the provincial women and children with the purpose of "mother and baby safety, children first" have already become "ferrymen" to meet life and escort the growth of women and children, with an average of more than 2,800 hospitalized children and more than 750 premature babies every year; In the first half of this year, 36 premature babies were treated, the success rate of treatment was 75.9%, and the recovery rate of hospitalized children was 98.3%, which has reached the domestic advanced level.

"Optimize the population development strategy, establish a fertility support policy system, and reduce the cost of childbirth, parenting and education." The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress points out the direction for promoting the construction of healthy China.
In this regard, Fang Junqun, vice president of Hunan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that in recent years, women and children in Hunan Province have focused on "willing to give birth, be pregnant, be excellent in birth and be well educated", and the hospital has set up an expert database for infant care, creating a "three-in-one, three-in-one" butler medical care service model, providing people with safer, more effective, convenient and cheap basic medical services by combining Chinese and Western medicine, and reducing the family’s birth cost, parenting cost and time cost.
In July this year, in the 2020 performance appraisal report card of national maternal and child health care institutions published by National Health Commission Maternal and Child Department, the provincial maternal and child health care institutions ranked first in the country among 249 tertiary maternal and child health care institutions, with the appraisal grade of A++.

"three hearts and three hearts" housekeeper optimizes the whole process of medical service
Be pregnant in October and give birth once; Among them, there is a lot of going back and forth in the hospital.
In women and children in the province, the distribution pattern of "one hospital and four districts" often makes many patients confused when they enter the hospital.
In order to solve this problem, the provincial women and children have developed a "hospital navigation" system. Just turn on the navigation, the three-dimensional map of the layout and distribution of the whole hospital will be clear at a glance, and patients can go to the required consultation room accurately, reducing the time of running around in the hospital.
This is just a microcosm of the province’s women and children to further enhance the medical experience of the clients.
"In the past, there were many links for clients to see a doctor, with an average visit time of 4.5 hours; Nowadays, there are’ three hearts and three hearts’ butlers around pregnant women, and the time for medical treatment is directly shortened to 1.5 hours. " Talking about how to optimize health care services, Fang Jun Group could not help but gush.
Fang Junqun’s "three-in-one, three-in-one" housekeeper is a full-process, all-round and all-time 24-hour medical care service initiated by provincial women and children in May 2021, which is a personalized service model from pregnant women themselves to fetal situation, from examination and testing to psychological management.
Not only that, in the new outpatient building of the hospital, one-stop services such as registration, diagnosis and treatment, inspection, ultrasound, payment, etc. enable the clients to complete medical treatment on the same floor; In the registration system, the newly launched MDT multi-disciplinary joint outpatient number source meets the needs of many difficult and special pregnant women.
As a third-class first-class maternal and child health hospital directly under the Hunan Provincial Health and Health Commission, which integrates medical treatment, health care, teaching, scientific research and rehabilitation, it is also the only provincial-level maternal and child health care institution in the province. Provincial maternal and child care institutions shoulder the business management and technical guidance responsibilities of 14 cities, prefectures and 123 counties and cities in the province.

On November 7th, the provincial women and children, as the chairman of the Prenatal Diagnosis Alliance of Rare Diseases in Hunan Province, launched the first "Cloud Seminar on Difficult Cases" with the help of the telemedicine platform of "Cloud Women and Children". Through the "gathering on the cloud" of many top multidisciplinary experts, it provides accurate analysis and scientific and appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan for difficult cases in Yueyang City.
At present, provincial women and children are effectively improving the diagnosis and treatment ability of rare diseases at the grassroots level through the "Cloud Women and Children" platform, deepening the exchanges and cooperation of the province’s women and children system, promoting the sinking of high-quality medical resources, and escorting the health of women and children.
Combining traditional Chinese and western medicine to build a characteristic specialized hospital
"Professor Liang, I am pregnant, or twins!" Not long ago, a good news came from the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. Eight years ago, Ms. Xie was diagnosed as "polycystic ovary syndrome" and has never been pregnant.
Until June this year, Hui Zhen Liang, director of the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of the Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, first made an assessment of traditional Chinese medicine for her, and then combined with her medical history, various examinations and tongue and pulse conditions, drew up a dialectical treatment plan for Ms. Xie.
After two months of traditional Chinese medicine prescription, medicated diet, and comprehensive conditioning with internal adjustment and external treatment of characteristic warm palace moxibustion, Ms. Xie finally got a good pregnancy and realized her dream of being a mother.
Professor Hui Zhen Liang said that the incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome is high, which easily leads to metabolic disorders, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, irregular menstruation, infertility and other diseases. However, as long as a systematic evaluation of Chinese and Western medicine is carried out and TCM conditioning is adhered to, it is not so terrible.
This is a microcosm that women and children in our province use the method of combining traditional Chinese and western medicine to carry out comprehensive treatment of internal adjustment and external nutrition to help pregnancy around the whole life cycle of women and the high incidence of female diseases.

In recent years, the Provincial Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Women and Children has formed a series of diagnosis and treatment methods with outstanding characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. The unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are also constantly strengthening the important role of traditional Chinese medicine culture in the prevention and health care of women and children, growth and development, especially in the construction of prevention and treatment of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, which has obvious results.
In fact, from "Healthy China Strategy" to "Opinions on Promoting the Inheritance, Innovation and Development of Chinese Medicine", to "Healthy Children’s Action Promotion Plan (2021-2025)" and "Implementation Plan for Promoting Chinese Medicine in the Field of Maternal and Child Health (2021-2025)" … we have always encouraged the use of Chinese medicine technology to carry out basic medical care and preventive health care for children; Strengthen the important role of traditional Chinese medicine in maternal and child health care, and build a number of pediatric specialties of traditional Chinese medicine.

In this context, the provincial women and children took advantage of the trend, and formally established the Pediatrics of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2018. By applying the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine and combining the physiological and pathological characteristics of children, the purpose of treating maternal and child diseases was achieved by combining oral Chinese medicine with massage for children, acupoint application and Chinese medicine fumigation.
"Provincial women and children are the supporting units of Hunan Children’s Health Care Center, which undertakes the health care management, technical guidance and continuing education and training of children in the province." Zhong Lixia, deputy chief physician of the Pediatrics Department of Chinese Medicine for Women and Children in the province, said that in recent years, women and children in the province have made great efforts to build ten platforms, among which the platform for the prevention and treatment of children’s growth and development diseases is the priority. In January 2016, the hospital successfully established the first batch of "national early childhood development demonstration bases" in China, and in 2021, it successfully applied for the "National Construction Unit of Neonatal Health Care Specialty".
Nowadays, women and children in the province have become more and more stable on the development road of "combining health care with clinic, combining online with offline, and combining traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine", and are reflecting the beautiful vision of creating "humanistic, intelligent, beautiful and happy new women and children" with excellent medical services and excellent medical technology.
