Liu Qianyu, a physician from the Pediatric First Department (Neonatal Care Center) of the Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children (Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University), or CQHCWC, in Southwest China's Chongqing, won second place in the 2022 national neonatal case competition.

The competition, which included several rounds and lasted over five months, was sponsored by the editorial committee of the Chinese Journal of Neonatology.

This is yet another national honor for the department, after Fan Yanyu won third place in a national speech contest on premature infants' respiratory management.

In the final, Liu competed with other outstanding participants from neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) nationwide, winning high praise from experts and competition viewers.

She gave a speech on the difficult and tortuous diagnosis and treatment process and standardized system management of a baby with a severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia treated at the CQHCWC. The speech highlighted the center's services for women and children.

Her speech also promoted the center's one-stop management model based on multidisciplinary cooperation, which ensures that every high-risk newborn receives more standardized, safer, and more effective treatment and follow-up services.

The CQHCWC maintains a domestic first-class level of treatment for super/extremely premature infants (birth weight <1,000 grams/1,500g or gestational age <28 weeks/32 weeks), and the competition demonstrated that the center has a high level in the field of treatment for critically ill newborns.

The municipal rounds and the national final of the competition were all broadcast live online, covering more than 2,000 hospitals across the country and being viewed by 16,000 times.

The competition enhanced academic exchanges and promoted the high-quality development of neonatal medicine in the country.
