Description

Maternal health refers to the health of the women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. Each stage should be a positive experience, ensuring women and their babies reach their full potential for health and well-being. Prenatal care includes screening and diagnostic tests and they can provide valuable information about the baby's health. Understand the risks and benefits. The obstetrician in partnership with the laboratory has tools that can contribute to maternal health, such as: • Prenatal screening tests which can identify potential genetic disorders and diagnostic tests, and, • Diagnostic test, which is the only way to be sure of a diagnosis. Learn in this episode what are the strategies to minimize the risk of alloimmunization in the maternal population and what are the recommendations for antenatal and post-delivery care testing.
