Abstract
We developed a neonatal ambulance (a doctor car) and a perinatal medical information network system cooperating with the local government of Mie. In addition to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic apparatus, the neonatal ambulance car was equipped with a bio-information analyzing system in order to transport neonates safely. Furthermore, the information obtained in the ambulance car is transferred to our center supporting diagnosis and treatment. Pre-hospital care of newborn infants during transport has come true by the introduction of this system. In addition, we simultaneously developed a perinatai medical information network system in Mie. Using this system the neonatal ambulance can be called and the medical information of mother and infant during and after hospitalization is available, Since the neonatal ambulance “Sukusukugou” and perinatal medical information network system were introduced in 2003, the neonatal and the infantile mortality rate of Mw have improved to less than the national mean. These systems are useful for child health and development.
