Free prenatal checkup for maternal and child health care

Before preparing for pregnancy, couples need to fully understand their physical condition. Only in the best physical condition can they give birth to a healthy baby as soon as possible. In order to reduce pregnancy abnormalities and maintain eugenics, a pre-pregnancy physical examination should be done from the beginning of the pregnancy preparation period to determine the health of the couple. So what are the new free pre-pregnancy check-up items at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital?

Free pre-pregnancy check-up new items:

The national free pre-pregnancy eugenics health check-up project service content includes: eugenics health education knowledge, medical history understanding, full physical examination, clinical laboratory tests (9 items in total), viral infection screening (4 items), imaging medical examinations, risk assessment and counseling guidance, early pregnancy and pregnancy outcome follow-up services.

To have healthy and smart children is the common hope of every family. Children born with birth defects bring heavy mental pain and financial burden to the family, directly affecting the quality of life and family harmony. According to statistics, approximately 200,000 to 300,000 babies are born with visible malformations in my country every year. If defects are not manifested until a few months or years after birth, the number of babies born with birth defects reaches 800,000 to 1.2 million each year, accounting for about 4% to 6% of the current population. Carrying out pre-pregnancy eugenics health examinations, implementing preventive measures before pregnancy, maintaining prevention barriers, effectively reducing the risk of birth defects, and playing a role in family harmony are practical behaviors that care about people's livelihood, serve people's livelihood, and share development. They best reflect that the population and family planning units, while controlling the population, pay great attention to the quality of pregnancy and attach great importance to the legitimate rights and interests of the people. They are changes in the working concept of the family planning policy and a detailed reflection of the profound connotation of the family planning policy.
