Clinicians in China are deeply involved in efforts to improve maternity care throughout the country. A Women's Health section has been established in the Chinese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Staff of tertiary hospitals participate in perinatal surveillance of cities, including regular maternal and perinatal mortality meetings and comparative inter‐hospital evaluations of service and clinical statistics. Clinicians from larger urban centers visit rural hospitals to provide guidance in management of high risk patients.
