Maternal–Fetal Medicine

Fetal medicine (MFM), also known as perinatology, is a branch of medicine that focuses on managing health concerns of the mother and fetus prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy.

At Alkari Devi Hospital, The fetal Medicine department provides facilities for a wide range of basic and specialized investigations and treatments with world-class expertise in all aspects of fetal care in the fields of obstetrics.

Our department is one of the few national centers which offer highly specialized tests Their training typically includes a four-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology followed by a three-year fellowship. They may perform prenatal tests, provide treatments, and perform surgeries. They act both as a consultant during lower-risk pregnancies and as the primary obstetrician in especially high-risk pregnancies. After birth, they may work closely with pediatricians or neonatologists. For the mother, perinatologists assist with pre-existing health concerns, as well as complications caused by pregnancy..

Maternal–fetal medicine specialists are physicians who subspecialize within the field of obstetrics. Maternal–fetal medicine specialists attend to patients who fall within certain levels of maternal care. These levels correspond to health risks for the baby, mother, or both, during pregnancy.
