Why the antenatal care is important?
Antenatal care (ANC) is the care that pregnant women receive from a healthcare professional during pregnancy. It is important for pregnant women to receive ANC to ensure their health and well-being, and to promote the healthy development of their babies.
There are many laboratory tests should be done during antenatal care visit, among them the infectious diseases screening are the most crucial. Because infectious diseases can have a significant impact on pregnancy outcomes and can cause a poor prognosis for both the mother and the developing fetus.
Some infectious diseases can be transmitted from the mother to the fetus during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. This is known as vertical transmission. Examples of vertically transmitted infections include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, hepatitis B, and Zika virus. These infections can directly affect the developing fetus, leading to congenital infections, birth defects, developmental delays, or fetal death.
To mitigate the risks associated with infectious diseases during pregnancy, it is important for pregnant individuals to receive appropriate prenatal care, including regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations. A revolutionary test reagent called DiabenchTM can be very useful during antenatal care. Because it’s small, portable and machine-free design, can be applicable even in small clinics. It is also easy for the pregnant individuals to get access to these kind of tests at low cost.
