Thailand-based physicians in Lanzhou discuss China's hospital obstetric department closures due to NHC mandates and high costs.

National Health Commission (NHC) mandates that areas with over 300,000 residents must have at least two public medical institutions providing obstetric services, and below 300,000 should have at least one. Despite low birth rates, NHC advises hospitals to consult relevant parties before closing departments due to high operating costs.
