China's first cesarean section rate of 46% on average

China's cesarean section rate has ranked first in the world, with an average cesarean section rate of 46%, even up to 70%-80% in some areas. This was learned on the 23rd from the Launch Ceremony of the “Mother and Child Health Education and Communication Skills Training Project” initiated by the National Health and Family Planning Commission and the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Relevant person in charge of the National Health and Family Planning Commission said at the launch ceremony that because of the lack of scientific motherhood and health education, the overweight problem of pregnant women in China is serious, the incidence of macrosomia is as high as 10%, and the rate of cesarean section is also high for years. It is the World Health Organization. 3 times the standard. Providing maternal health services, including health education, to maternal populations can effectively reduce maternal deaths and birth defects. However, at present our country's "maternity schools" are mixed, lacking a clear qualification standard for practitioners, which causes many problems. .

According to reports, the project will first hold a two-day national training course on maternal and child health education and communication skills in Beijing, which will be followed by step-by-step training to cover all levels of maternal and child health organizations.

In order to promote the standardized operation of maternity and childcare institutions, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperated with the Chinese Language Publishing House of the Chinese Foreign Languages ​​Administration in the development of standard textbooks for "pregnant school" at the end of 2011. At present, the pre-test of teaching has been carried out by the Women and Children Health Center of Peking University, the First Hospital of Peking University, the First Maternal and Child Hospital of Shanghai, the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Shanxi Province, and so on.

It is reported that in the future, China's CDC will also open various forms of maternal and child health services such as hotline, SMS platform, and air classroom.
