Maternal fetal medicine

 

Maternal Fetal Medicine Program

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology

 

Maternal Fetal medicine program within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at All India Institute of Medical Sciences New Delhi is known for its excellent team, respectful patient care and state of the art infrastructure with advanced ultrasound machines, LASER therapy and Radiofrequency ablation therapy. We reported the first case of intrauterine laser surgery for fetal bronchopulmonary sequestration successfully performed in India. It was established under the leadership of Professor Kamal Buckshee. Over the years the division has grown keeping pace with the ever-increasing advances in the field of Fetal Medicine.  In addition to providing quality care to the patients, the division is also actively involved in advanced research in fetal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. We aim to serve all sections of the society with equal respect and care keeping medical etiquettes and ethics in mind. Our team believes in continuously auditing and introspecting our own management to give the best services to our patients and engrave the idea of quality care in our trainees. We continuously update ourselves in the latest developments in the field by conducting continuous CMEs, Webinars, and seminars. We have published over 60 research papers in indexed international and national journals. We have teamed up with the Division of Medical Genetics (Department of Pediatrics) AIIMS for counselling of the parents and for prenatal genetic testing to provide best possible care to expecting couples for a healthy baby. We offer 1 year fellowship programme and long term observership programme based on eligibility criteria and an entrance examination. More than 15 candidates have completed fellowship and observership from our centre and are providing services in the field of Fetal Medicine in different parts of the country.
