Antenatal health checkup packages are essential for pregnant women to ensure they are healthy and their babies properly develop. These packages typically include medical tests and consultations with a Gynaecology Consultation & Dental Consultation. These checkups monitor the mother's and fetus's health throughout the pregnancy, identify potential complications early on, and take necessary measures to ensure safe and healthy delivery.
The specific components of antenatal health checkup packages vary. Still, they typically include a VDRL, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), RBS (random blood glucose), serum creatinine, platelet count, hemoglobin, blood grouping, RH, viral screening package, and USG screening. Regular antenatal checkups are critical for ensuring the health of both the mother and baby and can help to prevent or manage any potential complications that may arise during pregnancy. With proper care and monitoring, most pregnancies progress smoothly and result in a healthy delivery, and antenatal health checkup packages are an important tool for achieving this outcome.
