Fetal Medicine

Overview

Fetal Medicine is an important subspecialty area of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Fetal medicine is the specialized wing of obstetrics aiding the obstetrician to detect and treat abnormalities and growth-related problems of the unborn child while still in the mother's womb. Our trained fetal medicine specialists, equipped with state-of-the-art ultrasound machines with 3D and 4D probes, conduct diagnostic scanning and interventional procedures to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the fetus.

At our facility, we understand the critical importance of early detection and intervention in fetal medicine. Our team is committed to providing comprehensive care for expectant mothers and their unborn children, offering advanced diagnostic and therapeutic services. We work closely with obstetricians to manage high-risk pregnancies, ensuring that any potential complications are addressed promptly and effectively.

Our goal is to provide a holistic approach to fetal medicine, focusing on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of both the mother and the child. We offer pre-pregnancy counselling to help couples understand and prepare for any potential risks, and our high-risk obstetrical consultations ensure that both routine and complex cases receive the attention they need. With a commitment to excellence and compassionate care, our fetal medicine department is dedicated to supporting families through every step of their pregnancy journey.
