Perinatal Medicine

Perinatal medicine is a branch of medicine focused on the health of both mothers and their unborn or newly born infants, typically from around the 20th week of pregnancy until the first 28 days after birth. Specialists in this field work to manage pregnancy complications, monitor fetal development, and ensure safe delivery practices. They often collaborate with obstetricians and pediatricians to provide comprehensive care, aiming to improve outcomes for both mothers and babies and address any health risks that may arise during this critical period.
