CDRF launches "Care for Women's Health" Medical Training Program
On 7 November 2023, at the 4th Family Development Symposium held in Shanghai,
the "Care for Women's Health" medical training program under the Family
Development Fund of the China Development Research Foundation (CDRF) was
officially launched.
Representatives of CDRF, The International Peace Maternity & Child Health
Hospital of China welfare institute (IPMCH), and the government of Shucheng
County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, and other project related parties came on
the stage to announce the launch of the project. The launch ceremony was
witnessed by Ma Jiantang, member of the Standing Committee of the National
Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and
Deputy Director of the Economic Committee,
The medical training program is a medical and healthcare support project
under CDRF’s Family Development Fund. The program plans to organize the staff of
the maternal and child health system in underdeveloped regions to receive
further training in relevant specialties at hospitals in more developed cities,
so as to improve medical services at the county level. In the future, the
program will gradually form a series of on-site + online training systems in
different medical specialties and in different forms according to the actual
needs of the counties involved.
Shucheng County in Anhui Province will be the first to receive training,
which will be provided by IPMCH. The training will occur over a period of 1
year, and 13 medical personnel of Shucheng county will be trained in different
specialties of the relevant fields on a rotating basis.
On 6th November, Cheng Huiqiang, Deputy Secretary General of CDRF, Zheng
Xiying, Vice Governor of Shucheng County, and Li Jin, co-founder of the "Care
for Women's Health", and other members of the team visited IPMCH Fengxian Campus
to discuss the implementation of the training program with the hospital's
leadership.
CDRF hopes that the medical training program can be a pathway for
implementing the objectives of the "Care for Women's Health" initiative on the
ground, through better trained grassroots medical personnel, and thus benefiting
more women and more families.
