Pregnant women, high-risk pregnancies, premature infants, newborns
We utilize the BIRTH model (Belief, High-Technology, Relaxation, Innovation, Health Promotion, and Rapid) to provide high-quality maternal and child care, encompassing prenatal parental education, high-tech assisted maternal and child care throughout the pregnancy and childbirth period, happy childbirth, postpartum breastfeeding, high-risk pregnancy care management, rapid and safe delivery procedures, newborn health promotion, and postpartum care for those grieving the termination of pregnancy.

High-Technology: Pregnancy Manager self-management information feedback system, real-time labor progress recording, and information sharing.
Relaxation: Massage, music and activities, father's presence during childbirth, maternity care kit, nourishing soup, and healthy postpartum meals.
Innovation: Multi-support nursing pillow, patented nursing garments, midwife management for high-risk pregnancies, and pre-hospitalization care for postpartum trauma.
Health Promotion: Smart breast milk bank with barcode electronic identification, neonatal unit-based home care, and home visits for premature infants.
Rapid: Rapid triage in the delivery room, emergency cesarean section with newborn delivery within 10 minutes, and prevention of hypothermia in premature infants.
