Obstetric risk management is a systematic and continual process that necessitates the collective collaboration of all members within medical institutions. It is also a critical component in clinical practice that clinicians cannot afford to overlook. Through the identification, assessment, control, and monitoring of risks; ongoing training and education, team collaboration; and the establishment of a culture of medical safety, obstetric risks may be effectively reduced and the safety of both mothers and newborns may be enhanced. Additionally, improving maternal health knowledge, ensuring regular prenatal check-ups, strengthening psychological health education, and proactively addressing emergencies are all effective strategies for minimizing obstetric risks. In the future, as technology and medical techniques advance, obstetric risk management is expected to become increasingly scientific and systematic as well as more comprehensive and refined. Obstetricians should, therefore, continuously stay informed about and learn new risk management knowledge to adapt to the constantly evolving medical environment.
