2023-06-01   

The International Children's Day is approaching, and a set of data shows that in 2022, the national maternal mortality rate will decrease to 157/100000, the infant mortality rate will decrease to 4.9 ‰, and the mortality rate of children under 5 years old will decrease to 6.8 ‰, all of which have fallen to historical lows. The health rights and interests of women and children have been effectively protected. The World Health Organization regards per capita life expectancy, infant mortality rate, and maternal mortality rate as the main indicators to measure the health level of a country's people, among which maternal and child health also reflects the overall health level, quality of life, and level of civilization. In recent years, under the strong leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, we have focused on promoting the construction of a healthy China and promoting maternal and child health. We have deployed the maternal and child health goals and tasks of the China Women and Children's Development Outline, continuously improved the service system, and further improved the health level of women and children. "said Song Li, Director of the Maternal and Child Health Department of the National Health Commission. Currently, China is promoting the implementation and effectiveness of a series of maternal and child health action plans, fully promoting the transformation of maternal and child health services from "yes" to "no" to "good". Song Li introduced the "three improvements", namely the plan to improve maternal and child safety, the plan to improve healthy children's actions, and the plan to enhance the ability to prevent and control birth defects; "Two elimination" means to implement the action plan of eliminating mother to child transmission of AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis B, as well as the action plan of accelerating the elimination of cervical cancer, with the goal of eliminating mother to child transmission of major diseases affecting the health of women and children; The "two integration" refers to actively promoting the integration and development of maternal and child health and traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the deep integration of party building culture in the field of maternal and child health; The "two promotion" refers to actively promoting the action plan for breastfeeding promotion and the action plan for reproductive health promotion. By implementing this series of action plans, we will further promote the capacity and level of maternal and child health services, make new progress in the prevention and control of key diseases in women and children, and improve the health level of women and children. We aim to reduce the maternal mortality rate to below 1.2 million by 2030, and the mortality rate of children under 5 to below 6 ‰, so as to further achieve high-quality development of maternal and child health, "said Song Li.
