Fetal medicine

---

Medicine is an ever-changing science. As new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in treatment and therapy are constantly being updated to meet the clinical needs.   

Fetal medicine is about the study and treatment of the fetus within the womb. This is a rapidly evolving speciality wherein the fetus is treated as a patient either jointly or separately treated from the mother depending on the clinical indications.

The diagnosis and management of fetus, therefore, requires expertise to be developed outside the traditional boundaries of obstetrics and neonatal speciality. It is also important to have a broad knowledge of understanding the fetus and its relation to the maternal environment to optimise management.

We at Chennai fetal care, take pride in providing the best possible care for the unborn child based on robust scientific information.

We take a holistic approach which is carefully combined with comprehensive counselling, screening and diagnostic testing for fetal abnormalities. 

This is important since we believe that the decisions are unique for each couple. We are committed in providing the relevant and appropriate information and the support they require to make an informed choice.
