Chinese experts have documented the effective measures and experiences to ensure maternal safety in this special period through a Q&A handbook.
The handbook, COVID-19 Prevention and Control Q&A for Pregnant Women, consists of forty Q&A, which consists of three parts: Management Chapter, Service Chapter and Public Communication Chapter.
The Management Chapter mainly collects the relevant policies and measures on the safety management and treatment of pregnant and lying-in women, prevention and control of hospital infection and information management issued by the Chinese government during the epidemic. In the Service Chapter, specific contents and forms of services provided in different aspects of health care during pregnancy and childbirth are summarized, such as antenatal care, delivery, postpartum and psychological guidance. The Public Communication Chapter is mainly aimed at the daily protection of pregnant women and their families and the knowledge of antenatal health care, self-monitoring and other contents.
The purpose of the handbook is to timely summarize China's experience and share it with the international community to help fight the global epidemic and ensure the safety of the lives of maternal.
