Mothers-to-be reassured of safe, timely treatment

Despite challenges posed by the current outbreak pregnant women prioritized

Mothers-to-be in Shanghai have been reassured of safe and stable medical services during the city's fight against the latest wave of COVID-19, and pregnant women in emergency situations will be prioritized when calling an ambulance, the city government said on Thursday.

Clinical and emergency services at all of the city's maternity hospitals have been operating as usual, even though the city has been in lockdown since April 1.

Medical institutions must also keep pregnant women updated about opening hours, registration methods and medical processes in abiding by epidemic prevention protocols through various means. They should also provide health education, clinical consultations and psychological support via online channels.
