January 31st, a couple is going through the marriage registration office of the lower district to fill out the check-up form before marriage. reporter Li Gang of this newspaper reporter Li Gang Intern Aman Chang want to marry, is not the first to do a pre marital check? As the first line of prevention of birth defects, before marriage examination changed from 2003 to voluntary, the rate of marriage inspection has fallen substantially, and even once fell to zero. Although Ji'nan has implemented free premarital checkup, new people are still not buying it. According to a press survey, marriage registration and marriage registration are different in different places. Recently, Lixia District has registered one-stop service in the first marriage examination in Ji'nan. The rate of premarital examination increased by 10 times in less than a month. The rate of voluntary marriage inspection fell to the freezing point, but the rate of birth defects rose "since the national cancellation of compulsory marriage in 2003, the rate of marriage inspection has fallen sharply, and sometimes not even one." Talking about the decline in the rate of voluntary premarital examination, Jiang Hongyao, head of the women's Insurance Department of the Ji'nan women's insurance Station at Lixia District, shook his head.
she said that Premarital Check-up, namely premarital medical examination, is a check that can guarantee the quality of childbirth to a certain extent. Through marriage inspection, we can find infectious, familial diseases, psychosis, heart disease and other diseases, and can take effective measures to avoid the vertical transmission of mother and baby in advance. It can help to reduce the birth defects of the newborn and the mortality of pregnant women. "Premarital examination is the first line of defense against birth defects." But what is worrying is that after the abolition of compulsory premarital checkup, the first line of defense has been in name only. Jiang Hong said that when the abolition of coercion was abolished, the premarital examination required personal payment, so the rate of premarital examination was once reduced to zero, but it was later free, and the rate of premarital examination was still very low. According to the arrangement in the city, the rate of voluntary premarital examination is about 4% after the implementation of free premarital examination in the next 19 calendar days in January 2011. With the decrease of the rate of premarital examination, the birth defect rate of the newborn is increasing greatly. According to the Ministry of health statistics, the total incidence of birth defects in China was about 5.6% in 2012. About 16 million of the 16 million newborns had birth defects each year. "Although the increase in birth defects is caused by various factors, the reduction in the rate of premarital examination is certainly one of the reasons." Jiang Hong said that compared with 2003, the station statistics found that the birth defects rate increased by about 2%. Marriage inspection and registration separate, newcomers' trouble is not willing to check the benefits of free marriage inspection is obvious, but why will the young men and women who are going into the palace of marriage do not buy it? "We all know for free marriage inspection, but it is too much trouble to check up to the women's insurance Station and not to register in a place." In the morning of January 31st, in the registration office of the lower District marriage, Ms. Li said that the two people had already understood each other and were very healthy, working very busy at ordinary times. In many marriage registration offices in Ji'nan, many new people say so.
besides, some disadvantages of free premarital examination also reduce its attractiveness. "The items of free premarital examination are very simple and the quality is also worrying." Zhang Hongzhong, who plans to get married recently, says he may be more willing to spend money on a large hospital for examination.
in order to increase the attractiveness of free premarital checkup, Lixia District has added HIV, hepatitis C and other testing contents on the basis of the national regulations.
there are new people who believe that the annual physical examination is not necessary for marriage. In this regard, Jiang Hong said that there is a difference between normal physical examination and premarital checkup. "Some items of Premarital Check-up are not necessarily checked during physical examination, such as genital examination." She emphasized that premarital checkup is particularly important in preventing infectious diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea. Therefore, in her view, premarital examination is a manifestation of responsibility for partners and families. The implementation of "one-stop" service, the number of Premarital Check-up last month exceeded that of last year. In order to attract more new couples to conduct voluntary Premarital Check-up, the women's insurance Station of Lixia District took many measures. "We have issued various publicity leaflets to the larger units and women's federations in the district." Jiang Hong said that in order to facilitate the new marriage examination, after the active coordination, they formally transferred the pre marital medical examination center to the marriage registration office of Lixia District Civil Administration Bureau in January 8th.
"from the past month, the effect is still very obvious." Jiang Hong said that from January 8th to January 30th, a total of 260 people were checked for free for new people, which had exceeded the number of marriage inspection in the last year, and the rate of marriage inspection was raised to 42% from about 4% last year.
although the registration of the "one-stop" service, the morning of January 31st, the reporter in the marriage registration office of the District Civil Affairs Bureau, there are still many couples who do not choose a marriage inspection. "Premarital checkup is voluntary now. We can only recommend it." Jiang Hong said that the original Premarital Check-up is done before registration, but it can also be checked after registration. For those who are busy with their work, they also provide appointment check ups and other services.
in addition, in order to further enhance the attractiveness of premarital examination, Jiang Hong said he would try his best to win financial support and increase some inspection items. "We plan to increase the four examination of eugenics, etc." Jiang Hong said.
