The Beijing health authority called on its top-level hospitals to reserve more beds for pregnant women with high-risk cases as more women in their late 30s plan to give birth after the capital adopted the second-child policy earlier this year.
Xi Shuyan, an official from the city's health and family planning commission in charge of maternal and child health management, said last week that the commission issued a circular recently, advising capable hospitals to reserve more beds for pregnant women with critical health conditions. Healthy pregnant women will need to go to other medical institutions, she said.
Experts believe the city will see a baby boom in the near future after the local government began allowing parents to have a second child if either parent is an only child.
An additional 270,000 babies will be born in the city in the next five years due to the new policy, the commission estimated in February.
City hospitals, whose obstetric wards are already overcrowded, are bracing for the challenge.
"The number of outpatients in our obstetrics department has been increasing by 20 percent annually in recent years, hitting more than 80,000 people last year. This year the number is going to be even greater,” said Zhang Fuchun, assistant president of Peking University Third Hospital.
The city's health and family planning commission recommended that all pregnant women go to local healthcare providers to establish a personal profile before they register in a hospital for maternal checks and childbirth.
