Abstract

This study compares postpartum health development in China and Singapore, using mixed methods to analyse government reports and health data. It highlights China's progress in reducing maternal mortality and Singapore's comprehensive healthcare system with a focus on mental health. Both countries integrate traditional practices into modern care. Economic factors significantly impact care quality and accessibility, with Singapore's higher GDP allowing for better-specialised services. China faces urban-rural disparities, while Singapore struggles with high private care costs. The research emphasizes culturally sensitive policies and the potential of combining traditional and modern approaches. It suggests exploring digital technology and climate change impacts in future studies.
