Bao'an Maternity & Child Health-care Hospital

I. Hospital Profile

Bao'an Maternity & Child Health-care Hospital (Shenzhen Bao'an District Women and Children's Hospital) is a public, non-profit specialty hospital directly affiliated with the Bao'an District Health System. Originally established in 1984 as the Bao'an County Maternal and Child Health Station, it has evolved over 40 years into a Grade A Level III maternal and child health hospital (accredited in 2023) integrating medical care, health services, prevention, teaching, and research. It serves as the largest core hub for women and children's health in western Shenzhen. The hospital serves Bao'an District's 2.4 million permanent residents and surrounding cities in the Greater Bay Area, including Dongguan and Zhongshan. It handles over 400,000 outpatient and emergency visits annually, with over 60,000 discharges. It handles more than 80% of district deliveries, 90% of critical neonatal care, and comprehensive health management for women and children throughout their lifecycles. Designated as a teaching hospital for Guangdong's medical universities, a National Maternal and Infant Safety Quality Service Unit, and Shenzhen's Critical Maternal and Neonatal Care Center (Western Region), it has been honored as a “National Advanced Collective in Maternal and Child Health Services,” a “Guangdong Provincial Civilized Unit,” and one of Shenzhen's “First Batch of Child-Friendly Hospitals.”

II. Technical Advantages

Guided by the principle of “Maternal and Infant Safety as the Core, Lifecycle Health Management as the Goal,” the hospital has established three major technical systems: Precision Diagnosis and Treatment, Smart Management, and Multi-Endpoint Coordination:

• Comprehensive Perinatal Care: Establishing a comprehensive service chain from pre-pregnancy counseling and prenatal care to postpartum rehabilitation. The hospital operates a high-risk pregnancy clinic (covering complex cases such as pregnancy with heart disease, diabetes, twin pregnancies, and scarred uterus). The critical maternal rescue success rate has remained at 99.8% for seven consecutive years, with a painless delivery rate exceeding 92%. Doula-assisted delivery and free-position delivery coverage exceed 90%.

• Neonatal Critical Care: The Neonatal Department operates a regional transport network, admitting critically ill infants including preterm babies weighing <1500g, those with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Advanced techniques performed include umbilical vein catheterization, PICC line placement, hypothermia therapy, and ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). Survival rates reach 98.5% for extremely low birth weight infants and with a 96% success rate for extremely preterm infants.

• Early Childhood Development Intervention: The Pediatrics Department incorporates internationally standardized Development Quotient (DQ) assessments, sensory integration training, and language development screening. Specialized clinics include Height Management, Early Autism Screening, and Nutrition & Feeding Guidance. Comprehensive health records are maintained from birth through school age, reducing nutritional disease incidence among local children by 25%.

• Women's Lifecycle Health Management: Targeting adolescents, reproductive-age women, and perimenopausal individuals, we diagnose and treat gynecological endocrine disorders (PCOS, menstrual irregularities) and cervical pathologies (HPV infection and precancerous lesions). Minimally invasive techniques like hysteroscopy and LEEP procedures enhance therapeutic outcomes. • Postpartum Rehabilitation Department: Integrates traditional Chinese moxibustion, acupoint plaster therapy with modern pelvic floor rehabilitation techniques, achieving over 92% effectiveness in addressing postpartum urinary incontinence and rectus abdominis diastasis;

• Smart Management Innovation: Established the “Bao'an Maternal and Child Health Cloud Platform” to integrate electronic health records, family doctor contracts, and smart wearable device data (e.g., continuous glucose monitors, fetal heart rate monitors). This enables end-to-end digital tracking from screening and diagnosis to follow-up, achieving 95% systematic management rates for maternal and child health and 98% for pediatric health management.

• Smart Management Innovation: Established the “Bao'an Maternal and Child Health Cloud Platform,” integrating electronic health records, family doctor contracts, and smart wearable device data (e.g., continuous glucose monitors, fetal heart rate monitors). This enables end-to-end digital tracking for patients—from screening and diagnosis to follow-up care—achieving a 95% systematic management rate for maternal health and a 98% systematic management rate for child health.
