The city’s key maternal and child health indicators have consistently remained at historically low levels, ranking among the best in China. The hospital also took the lead in establishing the "1+1+10" Shenzhen Maternal and Child Healthcare Consortium, which includes the hospital itself, Shenzhen Children’s Hospital, and district-level maternity and child healthcare institutions. Leveraging its strengths in talent, technology, and operational management, the consortium is accelerating the development of an integrated, high-quality, and efficient maternal and child health service system, and continuously promoting the expansion, quality improvement, and balanced regional distribution of quality maternal and child healthcare resources.
