Nanshan Maternal & Child Health-care Hospital

I. Hospital Overview

Nanshan Maternal & Child Health-care Hospital (Shenzhen Nanshan District Women and Children's Hospital) is a public, non-profit specialty hospital directly affiliated with the Nanshan District Health System. Originally established in 1983 as the Nanshan District Maternal and Child Health Station, it was upgraded to a Level II Maternal and Child Health Hospital in 2012 and initiated the process of becoming a Level III Maternal and Child Health Hospital in 2021. Guided by the principle of “prioritizing maternal and infant safety while pursuing comprehensive lifecycle health management,” the hospital fulfills core functions including women's health care, pediatric care, antenatal and postnatal medical services, neonatal rescue, and family planning technical services. It serves as a technical collaboration unit for Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Hospital, the Nanshan District Critical Maternal and Neonatal Rescue Center, and a Guangdong Provincial Early Childhood Development Demonstration Base. Annual outpatient and emergency visits exceed 300,000, serving Nanshan District's 1.2 million residents and surrounding Greater Bay Area cities. It has been honored as a “National March 8th Red Flag Collective,” “Guangdong Provincial Advanced Unit for Maternal and Child Health Services,” and “Shenzhen Civilized Unit.”

II. Technical Strengths

The hospital has established a comprehensive “prevention-diagnosis-rehabilitation-management” technical system in maternal and child health, developing three core competencies:

• Precision Perinatal Care: Established comprehensive management spanning three months pre-pregnancy to one year postpartum. Operates a high-risk pregnancy clinic (covering complex cases including gestational diabetes, hypertension, twin pregnancies, and cesarean scar uterus). Maintains a 99.7% critical maternal rescue success rate for six consecutive years. Achieves over 90% pain-free delivery rate, with over 85% coverage of humanized techniques such as doula-assisted delivery and free-position delivery.

• Critical Care for Neonatal Emergencies: 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. We perform umbilical vein catheterization, PICC line placement, and hypothermia therapy. Survival rates for extremely low birth weight infants reach 98%, and success rates for extremely preterm infant care reach 95%.

• Early Childhood Development Intervention: The Pediatric Health Department incorporates internationally standardized assessments including Developmental Quotient (DQ) evaluation, sensory integration training, and language development screening. Specialized clinics include Height Management, Early Autism Screening, and Nutrition & Feeding Guidance. Comprehensive health management records are established from birth through school age, reducing nutritional disease incidence among local children by 20%.

• Women's Lifecycle Health Management: Provides diagnosis and treatment for gynecological endocrine disorders (PCOS, menstrual irregularities) and cervical conditions (HPV infection and precancerous lesions) across adolescence, childbearing years, and menopause, enhanced by minimally invasive techniques like hysteroscopy and LEEP procedures. • Postpartum Rehabilitation Department: Integrates traditional Chinese moxibustion, acupoint plaster therapy with modern pelvic floor rehabilitation techniques, achieving over 90% effectiveness in treating postpartum urinary incontinence and diastasis recti.
