On October 9, the Maternity Department Zone 1 of Beijing Anzhen Hospital Tongzhou Branch officially commenced operations, providing enhanced medical services for residents of BMC and surrounding areas.

The newly opened maternity department at Tongzhou Branch offers a comprehensive range of services for patients, from personalized admission guidance, labor doula support, to postpartum rehabilitation training. Its integrated delivery suite combines labor, delivery, and recovery in a single room. From admission and labor to delivery, rooming-in for mother and baby, and postpartum recuperation, the mother can complete all processes in the same room. Equipped with radiant warmers, electrocardiographs, and fetal heart monitors, the room provides strong medical support to ensure the safe delivery of newborns.

What is labor doula support? During childbirth, professional personnel provide humanized one-on-one support, offering continuous assistance to the mother physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally, helping to alleviate pain and shorten labor. Expectant fathers can also participate in a family-style birthing experience, accompanying the mother throughout labor and sharing in the welcoming of the new life.

Beijing Anzhen Hospital’s Maternity Department is a referral hospital for pregnant women with cardiac complications in Beijing, a referral center for critically ill pregnant women in Chaoyang District, and a treatment center for critically ill pregnant women in Beijing. The hospital has established a Cardiovascular Critical Maternal Medicine Center MDT team, capable of providing specialized medical support for pregnant women with cardiovascular conditions. The newly opened Zone 1 seamlessly connects with the hospital’s NICU and the Beijing Neonatal Referral Center, facilitating safe in-hospital transfer of high-risk newborns. With the ward internet alert monitoring system, medical staff remain on standby to respond immediately to emergencies, ensuring the safety of both mother and infant.
