Longgang Maternal and Child Health-care Hospital

I. Hospital Overview

Longgang Maternal and Child Health-care Hospital (Shenzhen Longgang District Women and Children's Hospital) is a public, non-profit specialty hospital directly affiliated with the Longgang District Health System. Originally established in 1995 as the Longgang District Maternal and Child Health Station, it was upgraded to a Grade III Class A Maternal and Child Health Hospital in 2018. It stands as the largest and most technologically advanced core hub for women and children's health in eastern Shenzhen. Guided by the principle of “prioritizing maternal and infant safety while pursuing comprehensive lifecycle health management,” the hospital handles over 85% of district deliveries, 90% of critical neonatal care cases, and provides full-cycle health management for women and children. Its services extend across Longgang's 11 subdistricts and neighboring Greater Bay Area cities like Huizhou and Dongguan, with annual outpatient and emergency visits exceeding 350,000 and with over 70,000 discharged patients. It serves as a teaching hospital for Guangdong's higher medical institutions, a National Maternal and Infant Safety Quality Service Unit, and Shenzhen's Critical Maternal and Neonatal Care Center (Eastern Region). The hospital has been honored as a “National March 8th Red Flag Collective,” a “Guangdong Provincial Comprehensive Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Demonstration Unit,” and one of Shenzhen's “First Batch of Child-Friendly Hospitals.”

II. Technical Advantages

Leveraging a dual-drive model of “technology empowerment + medical-preventive integration,” the hospital has established three core technical systems: Precision Diagnosis & Treatment, Smart Management, and Multi-Endpoint Coordination:

• Comprehensive Perinatal Care: Established end-to-end services spanning three months pre-pregnancy to one year postpartum. Specialized high-risk pregnancy clinics address complex cases including cardiac disease, diabetes, twin pregnancies, and cesarean scar uterus. Critical maternal rescue success rate has maintained 99.8% for eight consecutive years. Pain-free delivery rate exceeds 93%, with doula-assisted and free-position delivery coverage surpassing 92%.

• 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 28%.

• 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 “Longgang 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 96% systematic management for pregnant women and 99% for children's health management.
