Objective:
To obtain descriptive measures of maternal and perinatal health in the Ba Men Region of Inner Mongolia, China.
Methods:
Data collected from the Examination Chart for Pregnant Women for approximately 22,000 pregnancies in a three-county area of Inner Mongolia, China from December 1, 1996 through December 31, 1999 were analyzed for maternal, perinatal, and neonatal outcomes.

Conclusions:
Maternal and neonatal health outcomes in this region of Inner Mongolia were better than those in selected developing countries.
