It has been more than five months since the “universal two-child” policy was launched. At present, 27 provinces have successively revised family planning regulations, and expectant mothers in some provinces will enjoy longer maternity leave. However, with the implementation of the “universal two-child” policy, the accumulated demand for fertility has been released intensively, and maternal and infant safety and security are facing new challenges, which has made Chinese mothers worry. So, what are they worried about? On the occasion of Mother’s Day, the reporter conducted an interview and investigation. 【Oxford cloth】
Sorrowful bed
——Is it possible to sleep in the aisle while waiting in line to have a baby?
Carrying large and small bags and various paper materials, Xu Qingqing, who lives in Shijingshan District, Beijing, went to a hospital in Shijingshan early in the morning. The number of the obstetrics and gynecology department was the same as the pregnant women lining up in the lobby. She was waiting for her number to be called. Xu Qingqing is nearly three months pregnant and this is her second child.
Because the hospital has stopped providing any examinations to pregnant women who have not registered for childbearing, Xu Qingqing had to go to a private hospital for examination, and then She came to the hospital with the “Maternal and Child Health Handbook” to set up a file, but because the beds were too tight, the hospital told her that there might not be beds available for delivery at that time, and that there might be a temporary “corridor delivery bed.” For this reason, she plans to return to her hometown in Sichuan to give birth to a baby when her pregnancy reaches six or seven months. “It’s not that much trouble, and there are people taking care of you during confinement.”
China News reporter reported to the Beijing Public Health Hotline Service Center The consultation learned that Beijing’s top tertiary hospitals can allocate their resources reasonably, and prenatal check-ups can only be conducted for pregnant women who have established birth records in the hospital, but this is not mandatory. Asked if there was a specific implementation time, the other party said “not yet.”
The shortage of obstetrics and gynecology beds is the current situation in many hospitals in Beijing. When the reporter visited Beijing Chaoyang Hospital (Western Hospital) affiliated with Capital Medical University, he noticed that the hospital’s obstetrical beds were full before December 30, 2016, and currently only beds for 2017 can be reserved. A nurse surnamed Zhang at the obstetrics and gynecology triage desk said that since the beginning of this year, the number of women giving birth has increased significantly, but the hospital currently has only 50 gynecology and obstetrics beds.
The reporter asked at the triage desk whether the bed reservation for January 2017 is 100% guaranteed? The other party said: “Even if you reserve a bed now, if someone is in urgent need of a bed due to premature birth during your due date, you will most likely sleep in the aisle.”
Maternal and infant safety is the prerequisite and foundation for the health of women and children. According to statistics from the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the national maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rate, and neonatal mortality rate dropped to 20.1/100,000, 8.1‰, and 5.3‰ respectively in 2015, which were 62.1%, 74.8%, and 76.8% lower than in 2000. %. However, after the implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy, maternal and infant safety protection faces new challenges.
On April 7, 2016, the National Health and Family Planning Commission held a video conference on strengthening the management and treatment of pregnant women. Wang Guoqiang, deputy director of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, It is pointed out that after the implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy, the accumulated fertility demand will be released intensively, the number of births will increase, the proportion of older pregnant women will increase, and the quantity, quality and service resources of maternal and child health services will face new challenges. Health and family planning administrative departments and medical and health institutions at all levels must provide the masses with high-quality maternal and child health services focusing on “giving birth well, giving birth healthily, and giving birth safely”. 【Waterproof Oxford cloth】
Worried about breastfeeding
——When will milk powder no longer be purchased overseas?
In September last year, after ten months of pregnancy, the child was finally born, which brought great joy to Wang Hui’s family, who lives in Urumqi. But this also started a new journey for her to purchase milk powder overseas.
Wang Hui told reporters that her daughter was her second child. When her first child was weaned, she asked a friend to bring her from Hong Kong Bringing milk powder: first transfer it from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, and then mail it to Urumqi. To this end, she has also witnessed the change from mainlanders buying unlimited milk powder in Hong Kong to Hong Kong’s “milk restriction order” (each person is only allowed to bring two cans of milk powder).
Wang Hui said that the mainland has not fundamentally solved food safety, especially dairy product safety, which is worrying. “Purchasing on behalf of others is very mature and convenient now. I want to give my children the best milk powder. Most of my friends are around 40 years old. They have accumulated a certain amount of wealth and will not let their children suffer from food.”
Song Kungang, chairman of the China Dairy Industry Association, previously said that in recent years, China’s dairy industry has gradually matured and has integrated into the international dairy family. The Fenxin National Standard refers to the standards of the World Food Development Council and the “Recommended Table of Dietary Nutrients for Chinese Urban Residents”.
“Although the quality of domestic infant dairy products has been guaranteed, domestic consumers still have concerns about the country’s��Milk powder is in high demand. “Song Kungang believes that this is related to the fact that consumers have not emerged from the shadow of the “Sanlu milk powder incident”; secondly, the high cost of domestic milk powder manufacturing has also inhibited consumers’ enthusiasm for choosing domestic products.
Australian media said that Chinese consumers not only love Australia’s beaches, shops and various attractions – they also like a product that few people think has a future: Famous brand milk powder. Especially the special formula milk powder that becomes the breast milk substitute needed by babies and young children. [600D Oxford cloth]
shou Entering a daycare
——Can’t get into public schools, are private schools too expensive?
Ms. Ye, who lives in Chaoyang District, Beijing, has a child who is just over one year old. However, she has expressed concern about her child entering a nursery or kindergarten in the future. “It is impossible to enter public kindergartens, and private kindergartens are not available.” Too expensive. “Ms. Ye said that she wanted to find a kindergarten near her home, but she didn’t know what to do.
Due to the nature of her employer, For a special reason, Ms. Ye does not have social security, which makes it more difficult for her children to enter public kindergarten. Currently, she plans to change jobs and pay Beijing social security to prepare for her children to enter school in the future.
It is difficult to enter childcare and there is a shortage of kindergartens. Is there any way to solve this problem?
In this regard, in the 21st century Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the Institute of Education, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that from the overall development of basic education in China, educational resources are relatively scarce, especially preschool education, which is still a “shortcoming”, and the implementation of the “comprehensive two-child” policy , will further aggravate the “difficulty in entering kindergartens.”
As for the development of inclusive kindergartens, Xiong Bingqi said that not all public kindergartens will be built; It is a two-pronged approach to develop public kindergartens and support private kindergartens. On the one hand, it is necessary to increase investment in the construction of public kindergartens, and on the other hand, subsidies should be provided to private kindergartens to improve the conditions for running private kindergartens and at the same time reduce the tuition fees for private kindergartens.
Xiong Bingqi believes that there are currently two ideas. One is for the government to select inclusive kindergartens and provide support, requiring the supported kindergartens to reduce their childcare fees; the other is to provide For preschool education (subsidized) vouchers, children (parents) can use the vouchers to choose a kindergarten independently, and the kindergarten will use the vouchers to cash in the investment. This can avoid government departments taking the opportunity to administer the kindergarten when choosing an inclusive kindergarten. Review and intervene in the establishment of kindergartens.
“When the country does not include preschool education into compulsory education, the preschool education voucher system is implemented. It is a good way to develop inclusive preschool education. “Xiong Bingqi said that Nanjing, Zhengzhou and other places have already adopted this system, and other places across the country can learn from and promote it.
