The primary maternal and child health service system serves as a critical institutional foundation for safeguarding the health rights and interests of women and children. During its development, however, the system has encountered multiple challenges, including lagging construction of service networks, insufficient professional capacity, outdated management mechanisms, and irrational allocation of resources. Based on an analysis of the current development status and existing problems, this study constructs a systematic optimization pathway grounded in relevant theoretical frameworks. The findings indicate that improving the three-tier service network, enhancing professional and technical capacity, innovating management institutions and mechanisms, and optimizing resource allocation and guarantee mechanisms are key measures for promoting the high-quality development of primary maternal and child health services. This study provides theoretical guidance and practical references for building a maternal and child health service system that achieves comprehensive urban-rural coverage, sound functional integration, and efficient operation.
