20世纪30年代北平妇婴保健会及其医疗服务

Peiping Health Society of Women and Children and the Medical Services in 1930s

北平妇婴保健会成立于1930年,随着1937年抗日战争的爆发,因其成员离散、医疗资金周转困难而不得已停止活动。北平妇婴保健会在节育的宣传和避孕医疗服务的推广等方面留下了珍贵的历史经验。在该会的努力下,1935年中华医学会正式承认生育节制为公共卫生的主要工作之一,从此中国的节育运动被正式纳入医学专业系统。不仅如此,该会还开设了节育指导所,为需要节育的妇女提供各种避孕医疗服务,并组织公共卫生护士部开展了对家庭访问节育咨询业务和民众节育知识培训。这有助于提高城市居民的节育意识以及避孕医疗技术水平。

Peiping Health Society of Women and Children was established in February 1930, but the Society broke out in 1937, because of the Anti-Japanese War. Peiping Health Society of Women and Children set up fi rst birth control clinic, its birth control education and contraceptive health services has left a precious historical experience. Under the efforts of the Society, in 1935 the Chinese Medical Association officially recognized birth control as one of the main public health, and the scope of birth control gradually expands to medical treatment, public sanitation and health care of women and infants. At the same time, production and distribution of contraception drug and the improvement of technical level of birth control and medical treatment bring a favorable turn to the development of the movement of birth control.
