Journal Title: Panacea Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective of antenatal care is to ensure a normal pregnancy culminating in delivery of healthy baby and healthy mother. A quality antenatal care aims at identification and screening of high risk cases and prevention, early detection and timely management of complications. Prenatal screening and diagnosis is routinely offered in antenatal care and is considered to be important in antenatal counseling about the continuation of pregnancies affected by chromosomal or genetic disorders. Prenatal testing is now part of established obstetric practice in countries where facilities are available. It has two categories, Prenatal screening which is done in all antenatal women to determine risk of having Down syndrome and Prenatal diagnosis which is done in high risk cases to provide a definitive diagnosis of a particular disorder
