Suraksha Diagnostic Limited Hosted a Session on Foetal Health and Genomics

News Desk, News Nation 360 : One of the top diagnostics chains in Eastern India, Suraksha Diagnostic Limited, hosted a workshop on genomics and foetal health to empower expectant mothers and their families with accurate, scientifically based information regarding the role of genetic screening and foetal medicine in ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Dr Somnath Chatterjee, Chairman and Joint Managing Director of Suraksha Clinic & Diagnostics, said about the workshop that at Suraksha Clinic and Diagnostics, they think that enhancing mother and child health outcomes requires early intervention and knowledge. They can now identify and treat possible issues before birth because of developments in genetics and foetal medicine. The goal of this workshop is to equip families with the information and resources they need to make wise choices and guarantee a safe and healthy pregnancy. The workshop, conducted by gynaecologist and fetal medicine specialist Dr. Pradip Goswami in the presence of Ms. Upasana Mukherjee, certified genetic counsellor and medical geneticist, highlighted the fact that although the majority of pregnancies end in healthy babies, about 8–10% of them can have minor or major congenital abnormalities, some of them being due to incurable genetic diseases. Technological advances in genomics now make many of these diseases detectable prenatally by screening fetal DNA from the womb, allowing future parents to know genetic risks and make appropriate decisions regarding existing and potential pregnancies. Suraksha Clinic and Diagnostics, having Eastern India's biggest and most sophisticated genomic testing lab, can detect chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and sex chromosome aneuploidies, taking the lead in preventive care by providing early, precise risk detection and enhanced treatment planning for congenital and genetic conditions.
