Abstract:
Germany, as a western developed country, has an advanced medical level, especially in the health care of very immature premature infants. We trace the medical history of perinatology to understand the development of perinatal centers in Germany. After analyzing the classification and function, hierarchical management and quality control systems of German perinatal centers, we established a German standard level 1 perinatal center in the Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children (CHCWC). During more than two years of practice, we changed concepts, continuously updated clinical knowledge and skills, developed a series of high-quality work processes and supervision systems and introduced advanced medical equipment. We believe that the experience of establishing a German standard level 1 perinatal center and perinatal center network in Chongqing is worthy of being promoted to the Chinese maternal and child health care system.
