Premarital checks ensure healthy babies
"Honestly speaking, I did not trust the hospital. I think the hospital was only asking for money by doing so," she said. Many are so confident of their health they think a check-up is unnecessary. But there are those who know they are infected with a particular disease and fear the truth will come out. Yu Xuejun, an official from the State Family Planning and Population Commission, said the commission is neutral with regard to the regulation introduced in Heilongjiang. But he agreed premarital physical checks should be reinforced, Sina.com news reported. In the wake of the rising number of birth defects nationwide, many regions have begun to take measures to raise awareness of the importance of premarital checks. Health departments in Beijing and Shanghai municipalities, Shenyang of Liaoning Province, Qingdao of Shandong Province, Nanjing of Jiangsu Province and Wuhan of Hubei Province are considering introducing free premarital physical examinations.
