Antenatal screening is an important set of tests carried out during pregnancy to evaluate the mother’s health and detect possible conditions or infections that could affect the developing fetus. These screenings help identify risks early, enabling timely management and better pregnancy outcomes.
These tests are important because they can identify issues such as anemia, thyroid problems, infections, or metabolic conditions. Early detection allows timely treatment, helping to reduce pregnancy-related complications and support a healthier pregnancy.
