Abstract:
Since the 1960s, under the leadership of pioneers including Erich Saling, perinatal medicine has gradually developed into a discipline with international influence. Early perinatal medicine activities mainly focused on academic research, personnel training, publication of works, conference organization, and establishment of professional societies. These early initiatives not only laid the foundation for perinatal medicine, but also provided experience and resources for subsequent international cooperation and research. In 2005, the International Academy of Perinatal Medicine was established, which not only fully acknowledged the long-term exploration and accumulation in the field of perinatal medicine, but also marked the entry of perinatal medicine into a new developmental stage. As a platform integrating research, reflection, communication, and dissemination, the International Academy of Perinatal Medicine has greatly promoted the deepening and expansion of research in the global perinatal medicine field, played a key role in practice, and made important contributions to improving the health status of pregnant women and newborns worldwide.
