"June 1" International Children's Day is coming. Protecting the health of women and children is related to the hope of the motherland and the future of the nation. The number of paediatric beds per 1000 children keeps increasing, the problem of insufficient supply of HPV vaccine is gradually solved, the core indicators of maternal and child health have made historic achievements, and the child health management rate remains above 90%. On the 30th, the National Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the progress and achievements of China's maternal and child health work since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The health level of women and children in China has been significantly improved. Women's and children's health is the cornerstone of national health. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the health level of women and children in China has significantly improved. Song Li, director of the Department of maternal and child health of the National Health Commission, introduced that in 2021, the mortality rates of pregnant women, infants and children under 5 years of age in China had dropped to 16.1/100000, 5.0 ‰, and 7.1 ‰, respectively, all falling to the lowest level in history. Positive results have been achieved in the prevention and treatment of women's cervical cancer and breast cancer, child health care and birth defects. Over the past decade, China's maternal and child health service system with Chinese characteristics centered on maternal and child health institutions and women's and children's hospitals has been continuously improved. Up to now, there are 793 maternity hospitals and 151 children's hospitals in China, with 373000 obstetricians and gynecologists and 206000 pediatricians; There were 3032 maternal and child health institutions, with 542000 professionals and 260000 beds. "At the same time, the gap between urban and rural areas in the health level of women and children has been further narrowed, and the fairness and accessibility of maternal and child health services have been continuously enhanced." Song Li said that after entering the new development stage, China will further promote the high-quality development of maternal and child health, and strive to make the majority of women and children feel more satisfied, more sustainable and more secure. The supply of children's health services is a weak point, and the comprehensive promotion of children's health is inseparable from the construction of pediatric medical service capacity. There is still a shortage of pediatricians in China. While continuously improving the health level of women and children, the National Health Commission launched the action plan for healthy children for two consecutive cycles, focusing on expanding high-quality pediatric medical resources. "At present, there are 2.2 beds per 1000 children in China, an increase of 0.27% over 2015." Ni Xin, director of the National Children's medical center and President of Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, introduced that Beijing Children's hospital established a cross regional specialized alliance in 2013 to share "experts, medicine, education, research, prevention and management" with 47 children's hospitals in 31 provinces. Ni Xin said that the construction of the National Regional Medical Center promoted by the national development and Reform Commission and the National Health Commission has once again promoted the effective sinking and expansion of high-quality pediatric resources. Thanks to the construction of regional medical centers, by the end of 2020, the number of outpatient children in Beijing Children's Hospital in Henan Province had decreased by 63.1%, and the number of inpatients had decreased by 51.3%. In the face of the potential challenges brought by the implementation of the three child policy and the shortage of pediatricians, the National Health Commission will step up the construction of paediatric service system in underdeveloped areas and build a full cycle, all-round and warm paediatrician
