Our advanced maternal fetal medicine centre is designed to comprehensively cater to your unborn. Our services include preconception counselling, state-of-the-art ultrasound for diagnosing fetal problems, therapy for in-utero conditions, which is supported by neonatal resuscitation and excellent intensive care facilities. We have infrastructure and equipment supporting qualified experts in fetal care who maintain world-class standards. Our fetal medicine experts are certified by the fetal medicine foundation (FMF UK) and are trained to provide you with ultrasound scans performed to the highest standards. This is backed up with informative and sensitive counselling. Our care also extends to women whose pregnancy might get complicated due to a maternal disease, thereby affecting the baby. In such a scenario, we work with your obstetrician to plan the management for you and the baby.
Fetal medicine is the branch of science that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of fetal health concerns before, during or shortly after pregnancy. It is a speciality that offers advanced investigations and therapeutic options to treat conditions before the fetus is born. Common conditions treated at the fetal medicine unit include chromosomal defects in babies, thalassemia, increased blood pressure in pregnancy, preterm labour, fetal growth restriction, fetal anaemia, placenta previa and spina bifida.
Prenatal genetic counselling is offered to couples who are at an increased risk for fetal health concerns. Expecting couples can take genetic counselling before planning their pregnancy, during pregnancy or upon finding the risk of fetal problems. Experienced genetic counsellors provide information about the risk of fetal abnormalities, discuss and explain testing options, communicate results to plan your treatment protocol and offer educational resources to help you make informed decisions.
Women with complicated or high-risk pregnancies often require care from maternal fetal medicine experts. We specialise in critical care obstetrics management and offer comprehensive care to mothers as well as premature and high-risk babies at our state-of-the-art Level III NICU and Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU).
