chengdu now has a "fetal medicine center"

recently, chengdu women and children's central hospital officially announced the launch of the "fetal medicine center". based on the "fetal medicine mdt clinic", the center will further integrate the advantageous disciplines related to fetal medicine into a "one-stop collaborative" mdt patient service platform to provide high-quality fetal medicine services for mothers and babies.

song wei, director of the women and children's department of the chengdu municipal health commission, said that fetal medicine is an emerging discipline that involves basic medicine and clinical medicine, and requires close cooperation among various disciplines. as a megacity in the west with a population of over 20 million, chengdu has about 150,000 live births in medical institutions each year, but it is still relatively backward compared to other developed regions in terms of fetal medicine construction. currently, only a few medical institutions such as the municipal women and children's central hospital can perform fetal medicine surgery. he said that the birth of the fetal medicine center can better serve newborn families, develop fetal intrauterine treatment capabilities with higher quality, and aggregate multidisciplinary talents and strengths.

lin yonghong, party secretary of the municipal women and children's central hospital, told reporters that the hospital has gone through nearly five years of hard work, from the fetal diagnosis group to the fetal medicine mdt clinic, and then to the current fetal medicine center. "we hope that every medical worker and every patient's family will have a deeper understanding of fetal medicine, and will not abandon or give up on any fetus, so that every baby can grow up healthily."

so, what specific problems can the fetal medicine center solve? zhang libing, deputy director of the municipal women and children's central hospital, said that the fetal medicine center integrates the strengths of critical obstetrics, neonatology, pediatric surgery, ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis, radiology and major pediatric internal medicine teams, and can provide diagnosis and treatment for complex twins (multiples), fetal structural abnormalities, fetal cardiovascular diseases, fetal intrauterine infections and other diseases. at the same time, it will also provide diagnostic services for various fetal chromosomal gene abnormalities. "our goal is to enable every family to achieve eugenics and protect the healthy growth of the next generation."
