The antenatal health check-up package at Medicover Hospitals in Nellore is a medical program to ensure the health and well-being of pregnant mothers and their unborn babies. It often comprises a variety of tests and procedures performed during different stages of pregnancy to monitor the mother's and fetus's health. The purpose of antenatal health check-up packages is to identify and address potential health risks that may arise during pregnancy and to provide early detection and intervention for any health problems that may affect the mother or the baby.
