The current discipline leader is Professor Zhang Yunfeng, who now serves as the Deputy Director of the Expert Committee of the Jilin Provincial Maternal and Child Health Association. The discipline has been designated as one of the first national standardized training bases for neonatal-perinatal medical specialists, a national clinical teaching and training base for neonatal specialist nurses, a key unit of the national neonatal physician alliance, the Jilin Provincial Critical Neonatal Treatment Center, and a Jilin Provincial neonatal specialty training base.

The department currently has 128 medical staff, including 5 chief physicians, 9 associate chief physicians, 8 master's supervisors, 1 nursing master's supervisor, and 19 national-level specialist nurses. There are 110 designated beds, with 150 beds available for use. The treatment area includes 14 specialized wards, such as those for very low and extremely low birth weight infants, preterm infants, full-term infants, isolation, perioperative care, and jaundice treatment, as well as a neonatal follow-up clinic and a pediatric PICC clinic. The department is equipped with world-class advanced medical instruments, including Sophie ventilators, Drager incubators, multi-functional monitors, cerebral function monitors, CRRT machines, and therapeutic hypothermia devices, to ensure the safety and treatment of critically ill neonates. The department admits approximately 2,000 patients annually, 95.1% of whom are critically ill or complex cases, with preterm infants accounting for 56.8% of the total admissions. The smallest infant treated weighed 500 grams, and the youngest had a gestational age of 24 weeks. The cure rate for infants aged 28 weeks or older is 99.6%. Nationally, the department maintains low rates of neonatal mortality, hospital-acquired infections, and complications.

The department actively promotes multidisciplinary collaboration, maintaining long-term partnerships with ophthalmology, cardiovascular surgery, otolaryngology, pediatric surgery, and electrodiagnosis departments. Neonatal surgeries classified as level III or IV account for 89.2% of all surgeries, with the smallest surgical patient weighing 650 grams. Currently, the department has established a two-way referral system with multiple counties, cities, and hospitals within Jilin Province, as well as in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang regions. It also assists primary-level hospitals in establishing standardized neonatal wards, contributing significantly to reducing neonatal mortality rates in Jilin Province.
