(Central News Agency reporter Liu Chien-pang, Taipei, 28th) Taipei City Zhongzheng First Precinct female officer Chen Qianwen died after childbirth due to severe blood loss despite emergency treatment, and her baby suffered brain damage due to oxygen deprivation and is receiving treatment. Taipei City Police Commissioner Lin Yen-tien said today that the department will continue to assist the family in understanding the truth, and the baby's condition is currently stable; they will continue to monitor her.
Chen Qianwen, who was responsible for the security of important dignitaries, gave birth to her first child on April 18 but died due to intractable blood loss after emergency treatment. The baby suffered brain damage due to oxygen deprivation and is undergoing treatment, facing a difficult and long road to medical rehabilitation. The Taipei City Police Department's Zhongzheng First Precinct launched a fundraising campaign, and donations have poured in beyond expectations.
After giving birth at a clinic in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, Chen Qianwen experienced uncontrollable bleeding and was successively transferred to New Taipei City Hospital and Taipei Mackay Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment, but died on April 20 from excessive blood loss. The family had doubts about the cause of death and reported it to the police for criminal investigation procedures. Prosecutors, accompanied by forensic doctors, conducted an autopsy today; the family was present but did not utter a word.
Taipei City Police Commissioner Lin Yen-tien attended a query session of the City Council's Police and Health Committee this morning. DPP Councilor Hsu Shu-hua asked how the police department would assist Chen Qianwen. Lin Yen-tien said that the family agreed to an autopsy, and the department would continue to assist in clarifying the situation, ensuring the family understands the truth.
Lin Yen-tien also mentioned Chen Qianwen's daughter, stating that the hospital sent a video of the baby yesterday. He said the child is very cute and her physical condition is currently stable, but due to brain oxygen deprivation, they will continue to monitor whether it will affect her future growth.
In addition, Hsu Shu-hua further inquired about the proportion of female police officers serving in the Taipei City Police Department and the number of pregnant female officers still serving. An official from the City Police Department's Personnel Office responded that the proportion of female officers is about 15%, and there are 22 pregnant female officers.
Hsu Shu-hua urged the City Police Department to show more care for the 22 pregnant female officers. Lin Yen-tien replied that they would certainly pay more attention and assist if female officers needed to change their duties. The Personnel Office official responded that there are already relevant regulations for this: if female officers serving in external duties during pregnancy reflect this to their unit supervisor, they can be temporarily transferred to internal duties.
Taipei City Councilor Chang Wen-chieh of the DPP also believes that the City Police Department should show more care for pregnant female officers. She said that the pregnancy stage is very important for women, as discomfort often occurs in the early stages, and there is also pressure during late-stage delivery. The police department should require supervisors to show more care. (Editor: Hsiao Po-wen) 1150428
