Extended Pregnancy Management Protocol
The Dubai Health Authority's expanded pregnancy management protocol covers follow-up from early pregnancy to delivery. It includes consultations with an obstetrician-gynecologist with ultrasound examinations, a wide range of laboratory tests, biochemical and instrumental screenings. Dopplerometry, CTG, cervicometry, ECG, and vaccination are performed at various stages to protect the mother and child. Special attention is paid to prenatal ultrasounds of the 1st and 2nd trimesters, as well as tests to identify possible complications. This comprehensive approach makes it possible to detect risks in a timely manner and ensure the safest possible course of pregnancy.
